1. جاءَتْ مَعاً وَاطَّرَقَتْ شَتِيتا

    وَهْيَ تُثِيرُ الساطِعَ السِخْتِيتا

    They came together and went their separate ways,

    Stirring up the rising dust,

  2. وَتَرَكَتْ راعِيَها مَشْتُوتا

    قَدْ كادَ لَمّا نامَ أَنْ يَمُوتا

    And left their shepherd distraught;

    He nearly died when he fell asleep.
