لَنا هَجَماتٌ تَنثَني سَرَواتُها
بِأَسنِمَةٍ مِثلُ الأَكامِ سَوامِقِ
We have great camel herds whose high backs curve,
with humps like towering hills.
خَبَطنَ الرَبيعَ وَاِنتَسَفنَ نَباتُهُ
كَما سَرَتِ الأَحلامُ فَوقَ المَفارِقِ
They trampled the spring pasture and tore up its growth,
as dreams coursed over the partings of the hair.
بَناها بِناءَ البَيتِ جَونُ رَواعِدُ
تَجيءُ عَلى آثارِ جَونِ بَوارِقِ
Dark, thundering clouds built them stout as a house,
coming in the wake of dark clouds flashing with lightning.
تَدورُ بِأَحقيها البُروقُ وَتَنثَني
كَأَنَّ عَلَيها مُذهَباتٍ مَناطِقِ
Lightning wheels around their girths and curls away,
as though golden belts were laid upon them.
Sol 5.6
