1. The tents of Al Muharraq's family appeared to us
In them cowardice resides, neither coming nor going
١. وَلاحَت لَنا أَبياتُ آلِ مُحَرِّقٍ
بِها اللُؤمُ ثاوٍ لا يَروحُ وَلا يَغدو
2. Short pillared tents as though they were
Dogs crouching on their tails, shivering
٢. خِيامٌ قَصيراتُ العِمادِ كَأَنَّها
كِلابٌ عَلى الأَذنابِ مُقعِيَةٌ رُبدُ
