1. إنَّمَا لِقحَتُنَا باطِيَةٌ

    جَونَةٌ يَتبَعُهَا بِرزِينُهَا

    Our milch-camel is only a wine-bowl,

    Dark, with its strainer following it.

  2. فإِذا ما حاَردَت أو بَكَأَت

    فُكَّ عَن حاجِبِ أُخَرى طِينُهَا

    So whenever she runs dry or yields little,

    The clay is stripped from another's brow.
