حَفَرتُها جَوفاءَ مَنقورَةً
في دَمِثٍ سَهلٍ وَطيءَ التُراب
Its pit is hollow, hewn out,
within a smooth armlet of soft, yielding earth.
تَضمَنُ رَيَّ الجَيشِ لِلمُستَقي
كَأَنَّ دَلوَيهِ جَناحا عُقاب
It holds an army’s ample supply for whoever draws water,
as though his two buckets were an eagle’s wings.
