And herds of wild asses go early to al-Naẓīma, their spring pasture.
With helpers who rise early for well-knit verses
Sated by fresh herbage, they drink only from standing pools.
Two parts that drink only of pure water

They lodged there until they exhausted its dry grass,
Playing host to it until its aridity wearies them
And the Euphrates entered summer, no longer full.
While the Euphrates flows, biting, not unifying
