Sol 6

  1. Abda, daughter of Marthad, came to me by night,

    at a quiet hour, while my companions were at Dhat al-Hawafir.

  2. She pressed through al-Ruhbayn, driven by his urgings;

    how astonishing was her daring journey!

  3. She crossed al-Iklil, then turned aside,

    seeking al-Masani or the waters of al-Akadir.

  4. By the life of your good father, my familiar dwelling was never

    the homes at al-Mishat, by the bank of Jazir.

  5. Rather, the slope of Kundar was a familiar place to me,

    and the side of Lata—that is the land of the emigrants.
