هَل تَعرِفُ الدارَ بِسَفحِ الشَربَبَه
مِن قُلَلِ الشِحرِ فَذاتِ العُنظُبَه
Do you recognize the dwelling at the foot of al-Sharbabah?
From the heights of al-Shihr to Dhat al-Unzubah?
جَرَّت عَلَيها أَن خَوَت مِن أَهلِها
أَذيالَها كُلُّ عَصوفٍ حَصِبَه
Since it emptied of its people, there have swept over it
the trailing skirts of every pebble-laden gale.
يَمَّمنَ أَعداداً بِلُبنى أَو أَجا
مُضَفدَعاتٌ كُلُّها مُطَحلَبَه
They headed toward springs at Lubna or Aja,
full of frogs, all of them coated with algae.
أَروى الأَناويضَ وَأَروى مِذنَبَه
It watered al-Anawid and watered Midhnabah.
