1. My friend, show me her ruins, for
His road passes by Qais ibn Sa`d.
١. خَليلَيَّ دُلّاني عَباثِرَ إِنَّها
يَمُرُّ عَلى قَيسِ بنِ سَعدٍ طَريقُها
2. She has erected signposts by which she may be guided,
And which illuminate the site of her burnt bones.
٢. هَدَتنا لَها مَشبوبَةٌ يُهتَدى بِها
يُضيءُ ذُرا ذاتِ العُظومِ حَريقُها
