1. وَلَستُ كباك مِن تِهامَةَ مَنزِلا

    فَلَمّا قَضى نَحبا أَحال عَلى نَجد

    And I am not like one who weeps over a dwelling in Tihama,

    Then, once he has fulfilled his vow, turns toward Najd.

  2. بُكائي لِهِند حَيثُ حَلّت وَفي الَّذي

    بِقَلبِيَ شُغل شاغِل عَن سِوى هند

    My weeping is for Hind wherever she dwells; and in what

    My heart holds is an absorbing care that leaves no thought for anyone but Hind.
