Sol 6.1

  1. A falcon rose and set both her flanks ablaze.

    The herd brought home at dusk and the far-grazing herd distracted you.

  2. They sprang forth near al-Thawiyya, bridled,

    and raided the ʿIbād at dawn, grey as they were.

  3. Behold, that is the booty—not young camels

    you hope for, branded ones and old she-camels.

  4. You hope for them, though they have already reached Qurr,

    as ʿAtīb hopes for its young ones.
