إنَّمَا لِقحَتُنَا باطِيَةٌ
جَونَةٌ يَتبَعُهَا بِرزِينُهَا
Our milch camel is only a wine jar,
A dark one, with its little vessel following it.
فإِذا ما حاَردَت أو بَكَأَت
فُكَّ عَن حاجِبِ أُخَرى طِينُهَا
And when it withholds its yield or gives but little,
The clay seal is broken from the rim of another.
