1. غَدَت مِن خُصوصِ الطَفِّ ثُمَّ تَمَرَّسَت

    بِجَنبِ الرَحا مِن يَومِها وَهوَ عاصِفُ

    She set out in the morning from al-Ṭaff’s reed huts, then brushed

    against al-Raḥā’s flank that day, while the wind raged.

  2. وَمَرَّت بِقاعِ الرَوضَتَينِ وَطَرفُها

    إِلى الشَرَفِ الأَعلى بِها مُتَشارِفُ

    She crossed the plain of al-Rawḍatayn, her gaze

    straining ahead with her toward Upper Sharaf.

  3. فَما زالإِسآدي عَلى الأَينِ وَالسُرى

    بِحَزَّةَ حَتّى أَسلَمَتها العَجارِفُ

    My night-driving continued despite weariness and nocturnal travel,

    with Ḥazzah, until hardships brought her down.
