Poems
- اصبر وسل شكك الأمورBe patient, and cast off doubts about affairs;
- أما تذكرت من الاظعانHave you not recalled, among the departing caravans,
- إن لنا ضرغامةً جنادلاIndeed, we have a mighty lion.
- عاسرة براكب محلوقRestive beneath a shaven-headed rider,
- قد رحل الحى الغداة عمداThe encampment departed at dawn deliberately,
- كان اقتادى والاسامطاAs though my saddle-frames and the hanging straps,
- كان ما بى من أراني اولقWhat I had of pleasures are gone
- لما رأتنى أم عمرو صرفتWhen Umm ʿAmr saw me, she turned away;
- ما بال عينٍ شوقها استبكاهاWhat ails an eye whose longing has made it weep,
- مستفحل يستوره الهياخاA mighty male who deems the swaggerer a fool.
- وان يعمهُم حياً مطبقُAnd that an all-enveloping rain might cover them.
- وجوز تيه فى بلاد اصمتAnd the heart of a trackless waste in the lands of Iṣmit,
- يا آبلي ما ذامه فتأبيهO my camels, what fault has it that you should refuse it?
