1. اِشتَهَينا في رَبيعٍ مَرَّةً

    زَهَمَ الوَحشِ عَلى لَحمِ الإِبِل

    Once in spring we craved

    the fat of wild game rather than camel meat.

  2. فَغَدَونا بِطُوالٍ هَيكَلٍ

    كَعَسيبِ النَخلِ مَيّادٍ خَضِل

    So we set out in the morning on a tall, large-framed steed,

    like a palm frond, swaying and lush.
