1. بانَ الخَليطُ فَما عاجوا وَلا عَدَلوا

    إِذ وَدَّعوكَ وَحَنَّتُ بِالنَوى الإِبِلُ

    The companions departed; they neither paused nor turned aside,

    When they bade you farewell and the camels moaned at parting.

  2. كَأَنَّ فيهِم غَداةَ البَينِ إِذ رَحَلوا

    أَدماءَ طاعَ لَها الحَوذانُ وَالنَفَلُ

    It was as though among them, on the morning of parting, when they left,

    Was a white gazelle, to whom buttercups and clover yielded.
