Dust was transformed into features,

تراب غيرت منه سمات

1. Dust was transformed into features,
So birds in their places, and people,

١. تُرابٌ غُيَّرَت مِنهُ سِماتٌ
فَطَيرٌ في مَواكِنِها وَناسُ

2. It is the lion whose dwelling is called a den,
Or the deer whose dwelling is called a bed.

٢. هُوَ اللَيثُ اِسمُ مَأَواهُ عَرينٌ
أَو الظَبيُّ اِسمُ مَأواهُ كِناسُ

3. The wildernesses harmonized in meanings,
And rhyming did not attract their affection.

٣. تَجانَسَتِ البَرايا في مَعانٍ
وَلَم يَجلِب مَوَدَّتَها الجِناسُ

4. When you speak of a purpose with an utterance,
Then say Khansa' exceeded or Khu'nas.

٤. إِذا أَنبَأتَ عَن غَرَضٍ بِلَفظٍ
فَقُل خَنساءُ شَطَّت أَو خُناسُ
