1. هَيهاتَ مِنكَ بَنو عَمروٍ وَمَسكَنُهُم

    إِذا تَشَتَّيتَ قِنِّسرينَ أَو حَلَبا

    Far from you are Banu Amr and their dwelling,

    When you spend the winter in Qinnasrin or Aleppo.

  2. قامَت تَراءى وَقَد جَدَّ الرَحيلُ بِنا

    بَينَ السَقيفَةِ والبابِ الَّذي نُقِبا

    She stood in view as our departure grew urgent,

    Between the portico and the door that had been pierced.

  3. إِني لَمانِحُها وُدّي وَمُتَّخِذٌ

    بِأُمِّ لَيثٍ إِلى مَعروفِها سَبَبا

    Indeed, I offer her my love and seek

    Through Umm Layth a means to her kindness.
