1. أُعقُل قَلوصَكَ بِالإِجراعِ مِن إِضَمِ

    حَيثُ اِستُسيغَ النَدى وَاِستُلفِظَ اللُومُ

    Hobble your young she-camel on the sandy flats of Iḍam,

    where generosity is savored and meanness spat out.

  2. تَلقى عَلى الماءِ بيضاً مِن بَني ثُعَلٍ

    ديباجُ أَوجُهِهِم بِالبِشرِ مَرقومُ

    At the water you will meet fair-faced men of Banū Thuʿal,

    the brocade of their faces patterned with cheer.

  3. عِمادُ أَبياتِهِم سُمرُ الرِماحِ وَمِن

    أَطنابِها الخَيلُ تَعطو وَالأَناعيمُ

    The poles of their tents are brown spears, and from

    their guy ropes, horses and livestock reach out.
