1. ما فَرَّقَ الأَحبابَ بع

    د اللَهِ إِلا الإبلُ

    Nothing parted the loved ones, after

    God, except camels.

  2. والناسُ يَلحَقون غَرا

    بَ البَين لما جَهِلوا

    And people follow the raven

    of parting, in their ignorance.

  3. وَما إِذا صاحَ غرا

    بٌ في الدِيار احتَمَلوا

    Nor do they, when a raven caws

    in the dwellings, pack up and depart.

  4. وَما عَلى ظَهرِ غِرا

    ب البَين تُطوى الرِحَلُ

    Nor on the back of the raven

    of parting are journeys covered.

  5. وَما غراب البَين إِل

    لا ناقةٌ أَو جَمَلُ

    And the raven of parting is nothing

    but a she-camel or a male camel.
