طَرَقَت عُلَيَّةُ صُحبَتي وَرِكابي

أَهلاً بِطَيفِ عُلَيَّةَ المُنتابِ

Ulayya visited my companionship and my mounts

Welcome O specter of chosen Ulayya

طَرَقَت وَقَد خَفَقَ العَتومُ رِحالَنا

بِتَنوفَةٍ بَهماءَ ذاتِ خَرابِ

She visited while our camel litters fluttered

In Tanufa, a desolate ruin

فَكأَنَّما طَرَقَت بِرَيّا رَوضَةٍ

مِن رَوضِ عَوهَقَ طَلَّةٍ مِعشابِ

As though she knocked upon a perfumed garden

Of the gardens of 'Awahaq, a shaded pasture
