1. من مبلغٌ فِتيانَ قَومي رِسالَةً

    فلا تهلِكوا فَقراً على عِرقِ ناهِق

    Who will convey a message to the young men of my people?

    So do not perish of poverty on the ridge of Nāhiq;

  2. فإنَّ بهِ صَيداً غزيراً وهجمَةً

    طِوال الهَوادي بائناتِ المَرَافِق

    For there is abundant game there, and a herd of camels,

    Long-necked, with elbows standing clear of their sides—

  3. نجائِبَ عيديٍّ يكون بُغاؤُهُ

    دعاءً وقد جاوزنَ عُرضَ الشَقائِقِ

    Noble ʿĪdī camels, the search for which amounts to

    Calling out, though they have already crossed the breadth of the sand tracts.
