خَليلَيَّ دُلّاني عَباثِرَ إِنَّها
يَمُرُّ عَلى قَيسِ بنِ سَعدٍ طَريقُها
My friend, show me her ruins, for
His road passes by Qais ibn Sa`d.
هَدَتنا لَها مَشبوبَةٌ يُهتَدى بِها
يُضيءُ ذُرا ذاتِ العُظومِ حَريقُها
She has erected signposts by which she may be guided,
And which illuminate the site of her burnt bones.
