1. يا آبِلي ما ذامُهُ فَتَأبَيَه

    ماءٌ رَواءٌ وَنَصِيٌّ حَولَيَه

    O my camels, what fault has it that you should refuse it?

    Thirst-quenching water, and naṣī grass around it.

  2. هَذَّا بِاَفواهِكِ حَتَّى تَأبَيَه

    حَتَّى تَرُوحِي اُصُلاً تُبارِيَه

    Crop it swiftly with your mouths until you want no more of it,

    until you head back in the late afternoon, racing one another,

  3. تَبارِىَ العانَةِ فَوقَ الزازِيَه

    like a herd of wild asses racing over the rugged high ground.
