1. أَدارَ سُلَيمى بَينَ بَينٍ فَمَثعَرٍ

    أَبَيني فَما استُخبِرتِ إِلا لَتَخبِري

    O dwelling of Sulayma, between Bayn and Math‘ar,

    Speak plainly, for you were asked for news only to tell it.

  2. أَبيني حَبَتكِ البارِقاتُ بِوَبلِها

    لَنا مَنسَماً عَن آلِ سَلمى وَشَغفَرِ

    Reveal—may the lightning-bearing clouds favor you with their downpour—

    To us some trace of the kin of Salma and Shaghfar.

  3. لَقَد سُقِيَت عَيناكِ أَن كنتُ باكياً

    عَلى كلِّ مَبدى مِن سَليمٍ وَمَحضَرِ

    Your eyes have indeed been watered, for I was weeping

    Over every desert camp and settled dwelling of Salim.
