والبيضُ قد عَنَست وطال جِراؤها

والبيضُ قد عَنَست وطال جِراؤها

ونشأن في فننِ وفي أذوادِ

ونشأن في فننِ وفي أذوادِ

The fair maidens have grown old unwed, and long has their youthful play lasted;

The eggs have gotten old and their audacity has grown long,

And they grew up amid leafy boughs and small herds of camels.

They have grown up in arts and generations.
