نَزَلَت بِمَكَّةَ مِن قَبائِلِ نَوفَلِ

وَنَزَلتُ خَلفَ البِئرِ أَبعَدَ مَنزِلِ

She came down to Mecca from the tribes of Nawfal

And I descended behind the well, far from lodging

حِذَراً عَلَيها مِن مَقالَةِ كاشِحٍ

ذَرِبِ اللِسانِ يَقولُ ما لَم تَفعَلِ

Wary for her from the talk of a slanderer

Of reckless tongue, saying what she did not do
