1. أَرَى إِبِلِي والحمدُ للهِ أَصْبَحَتْ

    ثِقَالاً إذا ما اسْتَقْبَلَتْهَا صُعُودُها

    I see my camels—praise be to God—have become

    heavy when faced with their uphill climbs.

  2. رَعَتْ بِحِيالِ ابْنَيْ زُهيرٍ كِليهما

    مَعَاشِيبُ حَتَّى ضَاقَ عنها جُلُودُها

    They grazed near both sons of Zuhayr,

    quick to fatten on grass, until their hides grew too tight for them.
