1. My she-camel remained accustomed to Al-Qum
Worried by the strangeness of her distant home
١. ظَلَّت بِقُمَّ مَطِيَّتي يَعتادُها
هَمّانِ غُربَتُها وَبُعدُ المُدلَجِ
2. Between an Arabian camp where she was bred
And another makeshift camp of transient abode
٢. ما بَينَ عِلجٍ قَد تَعَرَّبَ فَاِنتَمى
أَو بَينَ آخَرَ مُعرِبٍ مُستَعلِجِ
