يُثَمِّرُ أَولادُ المَخاضِ ابنُ دَيسَقٍ

وَيُقري الضَبابَ الضَيفَ قُفعاً رَواجِبُه

Ibn Daysaq multiplies the young of gravid she-camels,

and to the guest his crooked knuckles serve up lizards.

وَقالَ تَعَلَّم إِنَّها صَفَرِيَّةٌ

مِكانٌ نَمى فيها الدَبا وَجَنادِبُه

And he said, “Know that it is Ṣafariyya—

a place where locust nymphs and its grasshoppers grew.”
