وَقَد حَلَّ بِالجَفرَينِ جَفرِ تَبالَةٍ

وَقَد حَلَّ بِالجَفرَينِ جَفرِ تَبالَةٍ

فَتَرجٍ فَنَهيٍ فَالشُروجِ القَوابِلِ

فَتَرجٍ فَنَهيٍ فَالشُروجِ القَوابِلِ

And it has settled at the two Jafrs—the Jafr of Tabālah—

The valley between Al-Jafrain has been visited

then Tarj, then Nahy, then the facing Shurūj.

By caravans, travelers, and seekers of water,

هُنالِكَ يَرويها ضَعيفي وَلَم أُقِم

هُنالِكَ يَرويها ضَعيفي وَلَم أُقِم

عَلى الظَلَفاتِ مُقفَعِلَّ الأَنامِلِ

عَلى الظَلَفاتِ مُقفَعِلَّ الأَنامِلِ

There my frail one waters her, and I did not remain

There I would water my camels when weary, not staying

on the rocky heights, with cramped fingers.

To rest at the wells crowded with other camels.
