أَرى ناقَتي قَد اِجتَوَت كُلَّ مَنهَلٍ

مِنَ الجَوفِ تَرعاهُ الركابُ وَمَصدَر

I see my she-camel has wandered every watering place

Seeking water to drink from her abdomen, the riders and place of departure

فإن كَرِهَت أَرضاً فَإِني اِجتَوَيتُها

وَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ الذَنبَ إِن لَم أُغير

If she dislikes a land, then I have made her wander it

And the blame is upon me if I do not change

وَتَقطَعُ رَملَ الأَحوَرَينِ بِراكِبٍ

صَبورٍ عَلى طولِ السُرى وَالتَهَجُّر

She crosses the sands of Al-Ahwaryn with a rider

Patient with the length of travel and estrangement

غَدَت مِن زُخَيخٍ ثُمَّ راحَت عَشِيَّةً

بحبران إرقالَ العَتيقِ المُجفر

She left from Zukhikh, then rested one evening

At Habran, loosening the ancient decorated saddle

فَقَد غادَرَت لِلطِيرِ لَيلَةَ خَمسَها

حِواراً بِرَملِ النَغلِ لما يشعّر

She left the birds for a night, her fifth

Conversation in the sand of Al-Nagl when it was too hot
