حَمراءُ تامِكَةُ السَّنامِ كَأَنَّها

جَمَلٌ بِهَودَجِ أَهلهِ مَظعونُ

Red-hued camel, fully adorned,

As if she's a camel bearing her family's belongings,

جادَت بِها عِندَ الوَداعِ يَمينُهُ

كِلتا يَدَي عُمر الغَداةَ يَمينُ

He bid her farewell with his right hand -

Like both hands of mighty youth at dawn.

تَاللَّهِ أَعطى مِثلَها في مِثلِهِ

إِلا كَريمُ الخيمِ أَو مَجنونُ

By God! None would give its equal for its equal,

Except the generous man or the madman.
