Rising toward the Ḥimā pasture, arrayed in rows,
Waving caps for the fever when evening comes for its summer
When its summer rain swells at evening,
They made their right hands tied captives

They set the peaks of Ḥubs on their right,
While the spray turned away from their left sides
And al-ʿUnāb lay broad off to their left.

Towering, bare heights hold their water,
From those with whom is the mist
Of the kind where mist is found.
