1. ʿUqayla withheld her favors when I came bearing provisions,

    preferring the resident’s need to the traveler’s.

  2. So I said, “By God, were it not that she might tell him,

    ‘My enemies and those who envy me have let out the secret,’

  3. we would have hailed her dwelling: ‘Greetings, O trace of a deserted camp!’

    and al-ʿAqīq: ‘Ah, greetings, O valley!’”

  4. I have allotted my share of her affection

    to Maʿbad, Muʿādh, and Ibn Ṣayyād—

  5. to the accursed one’s son, for whom al-Dukhān was kept hidden—

    and to the singer, falsehood’s messenger, my procurer.

  6. As for Muʿādh, I shall not mention him;

    his forefathers did the same for mine.

Sol 5.6
