1. My she-camel stood at the Numayri's door
Yearning for some of what she didn't get

2. If you were from Qays' sons she would have
Brought to you the waft of Ya'malat's breeze

3. But he is from the lineage of disheveled black Sawda
A Numayri milkmaid in the dough kneading

4. So I said, having no hope for Ibn Hanzala's grace:
When has the lord of abandoned dwellings been veiled?

5. You didn't ask for watering like Ju'ala
Or Mutlanfi', a huge-humped camel with matted hair
