My young she-camel departed in the evening, praising
the family of al-Zubayr, and reckoning none their equal.

She departed with sixty camel-loads in her saddlebag;
she was laden with neither her lightest load nor a middling one.

Never before her have I seen a young she-camel carry
sixty camel-loads, or cross a land with them.

That is hospitality—not the hospitality of people I have seen
who serve their guest whips of twisted leather thongs.
