سَقَى وَارِداتٍ وَالقَلِيبَ وَلَعْلعا

مُلِثٌّ سِماكِيٌّ فَهَضْبَةَ أيْهَبَا

He watered the maidens and the heart was stirred

A fleshy, sturdy youth then roamed the dunes

فَمَرَّ على الخَبْتَينِ خَبْتَيْ عُنَيْزَةٍ

فَذَاتِ النِّقاعِ فانْتَحَى وَتَصَوَّبا

He passed by two low rises in Unayzah

With prominent hips then straightened and drew near

فَلَمّا تَدَلّى مِنْ أعالِي طَمِيّةٍ

أبَسَّتْ بِهِ رِيحُ الصَّبا فَتَحَلَّبا

When he descended from lofty Tamiyyah’s heights

The north wind tousled him, so he wavered
