1. I yearned for her when dawn's first light appeared
On the day we parted, names of place unclear

2. When she drank from Baydah, she lingered on
Her camels grazing by each watering weir

3. Their loads like ships that cannot steer
Past craggy Shaybah on the left draw near

4. And rocky outcrops block the way, right here
You'll not forget, though longing will increase

5. For names and days when we would persevere
Can you forget when you bid her farewell

6. Adorned as with lightning's brilliant flare?
Our tryst with her is in 'Ufayriyat

7. That fate may let us three convene there
