Will you go on without stopping at the desolate ruins
You passed by without mending the ruins of poverty
Of Salma, and a trace at al-Ghariyyayn like a line of script?
Of Salma and traces as clear as lines
عَهِدناwe once knew بِهِat it البيضَthe fair-skinned women المَعارِيبَthe amorous women للصِّبىfor youthful dalliance

وَفارِطَ أَحواضِ الشَبابِ الَّذي يَقري
There we once knew fair women, fond of youthful dalliance,
We entrusted it white tents for the boy
And the forerunner at youth’s watering pools, who offers hospitality.
And surpassed the ponds of youth that flows
