1. وَقَفنا لِلوِداعِ وَقَد أُثيرَت

    مَطِيُّهُمُ وَجَدَّ الإرتِحالُ

    We stood to bid farewell, and already roused were

    their mounts, and departure grew urgent.

  2. نَبُثُّ سَرائِراً فينا وَكادَت

    تَنوحُ لِرِقَّةِ الشَكوى الجَمالُ

    We poured out the secrets within us, and they nearly

    wailed at the tenderness of the lament—the camels.
