1. ليس جفر الهباة يوم رهانٍ

    مثل يوم جرى بوادي الفواره

    Jafr al-Habāh, on a day of racing, was not

    Like the day that unfolded in the valley of al-Fawwārah.

  2. خلت تلك البزاة فرسان عبسٍ وحجال

    وحجال العريض آل فزاره

    I took those falcons for the horsemen of ʿAbs, and the partridges—

    And the partridges of al-ʿArīḍ for the house of Fazārah.
