إِذا أَرمَلوا زاداً عَقَرتُ مَطيَّةً
تَجُرُّdragging بِرِجلَيهاwith its two hind legs السَريحَthe leather sandal-strap المُخَدَّماfastened with ankle-bands
تَجُرُّ بِرِجلَيها السَريحَ المُخَدَّما
When they ran out of provisions, I hamstrung a riding camel,
When they lack provisions a she-camel of theirs I maim,
Its hind legs dragging the sandal-strap fastened about its ankles.
Dragging her feet, worn out and feeble.
Sol 6.1
