1. لَو سَأَلت عَنّا غَداةَ قراقِرٍ

    كَما كُنتَ عَنه سائِلاً لَو لَقيتها

    Had you asked about us on the morning of Qaraqir,

    as you would have asked about it had you encountered it—

  2. لِقاءَ بَني نِمرٍ وَكانَ لِقاؤُهُم

    غَداةَ الحُوالى حاجَةً فَقَضَيتُها

    the encounter with Banu Nimr—and meeting them

    on the morning of al-Huwala was a need, so I fulfilled it.
