So toward al-Walid today my she-camel yearned,
My she-camel turned today towards Al-Walid
hastening across bare plains with dust-covered surfaces.
Plunging with the dust clouds of traveling camels.

She yearned toward a flash of lightning, so I told her, 'Calm
She turned towards lightning, so I said to her, "Rest
your yearning a little, for your plaintive cry stirs my longing.'
Some of your yearning, for your rocks excite my longing."
