1. فَقالَت تَشكّى غربَةَ الدَارِ بَعدَما

    أَتى دونَها مِن بَطنِ عَكوَةَ ميثَبُ

    She complained of the home's distance after

    One from the valley of 'Akawa came hopping,

  2. وَقَد شاقَها مِن نَظرَةٍ طَرَّحَت بِها

    وَمِن دونِها بِركُ الغِمادِ فَعُليَبُ

    And a glance she threw wearied her,

    While beyond her the cooking-pot boiled over.
