1. فما قَلُوصٌ تبيت الليلَ مُعْمَلَةً

    تُضحي وراكبُها لم يَعْدُ مُمْساها

    What young she-camel, then, is driven all night,

    and reaches morning with her rider no farther than her evening halt—

  2. مِمَّا إذا راكب أنْضَى مَطيَّتَهُ

    أضحتْ جَمُوماً وقد أنضاه مَسراها

    one of those that, when a rider exhausts his mount,

    is fresh by morning, though her night journey has exhausted him?
