Spanish translation:

Yo veo la gente montando a los caballos gritando, las nubes llevando de la chispa escapade de los fuegos en sus caminos refulgir la vida sin de usted .

"I see people riding on shrieking horses, steering clouds o sparkbelching fires on their way to flame life out of you."- Mahd al-Aadiyya (4000 BCE)

Veo gente montando relinchantes caballos, haciendole el quite a nubes (de polvo?) o fuegos llenos de chispas/chispeantes en su camino a sacarte la vida con fuego.

No.......

The sentence speaks of people mounting their horses and they (the people) are yelling and screaming.....not the horses!

I translated the English sentence. The Spanish is sketchy at best too. :-)

Well, I'm not sure, but I think that in "riding on shrieking horses", "shrieking" is referred to horses, not to people. I could say "riding on white horses". In can't see any difference.

Another thing would be: I've seen shrieking people riding...

Am I wrong?

No, you are not wrong.

Now, shrieking is not the the same as neighing but I took it as such. Had to.
