وَعُونٍ يُباَكرنَ النَّظِيمَةَ مَربعَا
جَزَأنَ فلا يَشرَبنَ إلاَّ النَّقائِعا
And mature cows visit al-Naẓīmah at dawn for spring grazing.
Content with the moisture of herbage, they drink only from rainwater pools.
تَضَيَّفنَهُ حتَّى جَهَدنَ يَبيسَهُ
وآضَ الفُراتُ قائِظاً لَيسَ جامِعا
They were its guests until they exhausted its dry herbage.
And the Euphrates returned to its summer flow, no longer gathering water.
