1. My she-camel has made the journey from Mecca
To Al-Barak nothing but a vigil of wakefulness
١. فَما جَعَلَت ما بَينَ مَكَّةَ ناقَتي
إِلى البِركِ إِلا نَومَةَ المُتَهَجِّدِ
2. And near dawn she almost flung off her saddle
At Duma from the howling of scattered dogs
٢. وَكادَت قُبَيلَ الصُبحِ تَنبِذُ رَحلَها
بِدومَةَ مِن لَغطِ القَطا المُتَبَدِّدِ
