1. O quarter which has changed desolation
To a refuge, now not devoid

2. The scent of musk prevails in it, only
Due to musk, should its train pass by

3. Neither water of lofty mountains is Muzain
Nor are their valleys filled with bees

4. Sweeter than the words you said after
The camel litter took its place on the saddle

5. No meadow with lingering sorrow is its abode
Sheltering it from garment’s marks or settled abodes

6. Sweeter than spices of perfumed Buthaina
Nay, but Ri’yah holds precedence over the meadow
