1. أَمَّا تَذَكَّرتَ مِنَ الاَظعانِ

    طَوالِعاً مِن نَحوِ ذِى بَوَّانِ

    Have you not recalled, among the departing caravans,

    those coming into view from the direction of Dhū Bawwān,

  2. كَاَنَّما عَلَّقنَ بِالاَسدانِ

    يانِع حُمّاضٍ وَاُقحُوانِ

    as though they had hung upon the curtains

    ripe sorrel and daisies,

  3. مُخالَطاً هُدّابَ اُرجُوانِ

    جَعدَ النَّواحِى خَضِلَ الاغصانِ

    mingled with fringes of crimson,

    dense on every side, with moist branches?
