1. A parting friend bid me adieu, though yearning held me back,
I poured on him my streaming generosity.
١. وَداعٍ دَعاني وَالأَسِنَّةُ دونَهُ
صَبَبتُ عَلَيهِ بِالجَوابِ جَوادي
2. I turned my steed aside unto my kinsman hight Meheir,
And from him took as gifts the noblest of horses.
٢. جَنَبتُ إِلى مَهري المَنيعِيِّ مُهرَهُ
وَجَلَّلتُ مِنهُ بِالنَجيعِ نِجادِ
