سَتَخلَعُ في فَصافِصَ ما سَقَتها
بِدالِيَةٍ أُسَيِّدُ في دِبارِ
You will break loose amid alfalfa not watered
by Usayyid with a water-lift in garden beds.
سَقاها اللَهُ بِالأَشراطِ حَتّى
تَحَنّى نَبتُ غادِيَةٍ وَساري
God watered it with the Ashrat stars’ rains, until
the growth from morning and night rain bent low.
وَلَو بِعنا أُسَيِّدَ لَم تَزِدنا
أُسَيِّدُ قَتَّتَينِ عَلى حِمارِ
And if we sold Usayyid, we would not get
for Usayyid two fodder bundles beyond a donkey’s worth.
Sol 6.1
