1. We dwelled between the lower ravines
To gushing streams on brocaded Thursdays
١. نَحْنُ مَنَعْنا بَيْنَ أسْفَلِ ناعِتٍ
إلى وارِداتٍ بالخَمِيسِ العَرَمْرَمِ
2. In a neighborhood, when told "Set out!" they stood
At the awesomeness of the starred heavens
٢. بِحَيٍّ إذا قِيلَ اظْعَنُوا قد أُتِيتُمُ
أقاموا عَلى هَوْلِ الجَنانِ المُرَجَّمِ
3. Their first endured leaving home at dawn
And their last returned at dusk, undeterred
٣. تَحَمَّلُ أولاهُمْ مِنَ الدارِ غُدْوَةً
وتُمْسي بِها أُخْراهُمُ لَمْ تُصْرَّمِ
