1. Do you remember the time of fleeting covenants
And your era of customs and affectations
١. أَتَذكُرُ عَهدَ ذي العَهدِ المُحيلِ
وَعَصرَكَ بالأَعارِفِ وَالشلولِ
2. And the meandering of my she-camel on the day we travelled
Across the soft sands and pleasant hillocks
٢. وَتَعريجَ المَطيَّةِ يَومَ شَوطى
عَلى العَرَصاتِ وَالدِمَنِ الحُلولِ
