1. وَلاحَت لَنا أَبياتُ آلِ مُحَرِّقٍ

    بِها اللُؤمُ ثاوٍ لا يَروحُ وَلا يَغدو

    And the dwellings of Muḥarriq's family came into view before us;

    There baseness dwells, departing neither in the evening nor in the morning.

  2. خِيامٌ قَصيراتُ العِمادِ كَأَنَّها

    كِلابٌ عَلى الأَذنابِ مُقعِيَةٌ رُبدُ

    Tents with short poles, as though they were

    Ash-gray dogs squatting on their tails.
