1. هاتيك يا صاح ربا لعلع

    ناشدتك الله فعرج معي

    Those, my friend, are the hills of La‘la‘.

    I adjure you by God, so turn aside with me.

  2. وانزل بنا بين بيوت النقا

    فقد غدت آهلة المربع

    And alight with us among the dwellings of al-Naqā,

    For their spring encampment has become inhabited,

  3. حتى نطيل اليوم وقفاً على الـ

    ـساكن أو عطفاً على الموضع

    So that today we may linger, pausing by the—

    —dweller, or turning toward the place.
