She saw a palm in the valley of Aḥwas, surrounded
She saw a date palm in the belly of Ahwos
by a barrier running alongside it, with a narrow gorge before it.
Sheltered by a veil, with thieves beneath

A dark, well-trained one pours water over it,
Who unleash the downpour upon it, a well-trained army
and a girded man calls out when the great water-bucket appears.
And a defender who calls out when dusk appears
