وحنت قلوصي بعد هدء صبابةً

فيا روعة ما راع قلبي حنينها
And my young she-camel moaned with longing after a lull.
My heart yearned silently after youth's clamor,
Oh, what a fright—how her yearning cry startled my heart!
What graceful one has stirred up my heart's longing!

حنت في عقاليها وشب لعينها

سنا بارقٍ يسرى فجن جنونها
She moaned in her two hobbles, and before her eyes flared
She inclined towards me and glanced with eyes
the gleam of lightning traveling by night; so her frenzy ran wild.
That shot forth a radiant tooth that kindled her madness;
فقلتso I said لهاto her صبراًpatience فكلfor every قرينةٍfemale companion
فقلت لها صبراً فكل قرينةٍ

So I said to her, 'Patience! For every mate
So I said: "Patience, for every companion
must one day be parted from her companion.'
Must one day leave their companion."

وما برحت حتى ارعوينا لصوتها

وحتى انبرى منا معينٌ يعينها
And she did not cease until we heeded her voice,
Yet I did not budge until we were startled by her voice,
and until a helper stepped forward from among us to help her.
And until a trusted friend rose to help her.

فقلت لها حني رويداً فإنني

So I said to her, 'Moan gently, for I
So I said to her, when we paused: "You and I
and you voice a lament we shall make plain.'
Will build a love that we will make endure."
