1. Rattle your stirrups towards the meadow
And bid farewell to the singing-girls to the palaces
١. قَلقِل رِكابَكَ للفَلا
وَدّعِ الغواني للقُصورِ
2. For the inhabitants resemble those
Who are loyal to their homelands
٢. فَمُحالفوا أوطانِهِم
أمثالُ سُكّانِ القبورِ
3. Like the inhabitants of the graves
Were it not for travel, the pearl
٣. لولا التغرُّبُ ما رقى
دُرُّ البحور إلى النحور
