1. You can distinguish yesterday from the ruins,
Like a student examining circumstances.

2. Did you lodge this morning at Alqama ibn Adyy,
Or are you moving on today?

3. The young men have loaded up their camels
And the meat at Al-Ghiṭān was not cut into strips.

4. As it captivates the gazes of onlookers
And appears clearly like columns in a line.

5. As sweet as the fragrance I inhaled from the apple,
Quenched by the coolness of the morning dew.
