أَمسَت مُوَدِّعَةَ العِراصِ حُلولا
Turn aside; let us greet the ruins at Dhu al-Kuwayr,
Take the winding path to Dhik Alkuwayr at dusk
Whose courtyards have bidden their dwellers farewell,
Bidding farewell to the shelters as day turns to dusk
بِرُبىon the hills of العَثاعِثِal-ʿAthāʿith حَيثُwhere واجَهَتِfaced الرُبىthe hills
بِرُبى العَثاعِثِ حَيثُ واجَهَتِ الرُبى

سَنَدَ العَروسِ وَقابَلَت مَهزولا
On the hills of al-ʿAthāʿith, where the hills faced
Among the bushes where the doe met her beloved
The slope of al-ʿArūs and stood opposite Mahzūl.
Supporting the bride as she faces her fate
وَجَرَتand passed بِهاover them الحُجُجُthe years الرَمامِسُobliterating فَاِكتَسَتso they became clothed
وَجَرَت بِها الحُجُجُ الرَمامِسُ فَاِكتَسَت
بَعدَafter النَضارَةِthe lushness وَحشَةًdesolation مَهزولاwasted
بَعدَ النَضارَةِ وَحشَةً مَهزولا
And obliterating years passed over them, so they were clad,
The thornbushes grazed her as she passed through
After their lushness, in desolation, wasted away.
After elegance, now desolate and worn
