1. نَعَمْ لوْلاكَ ما ذُكِرَ العَقيقُ

    ولا جابَتْ لهُ الفَلَواتِ نُوقُ

    Yes, were it not for you, al-Aqiq would not be mentioned,

    Nor would she-camels cross the deserts for it.

  2. نَعَمْ أسْعَى إليْكَ علَى جُفوني

    تَدانَى الحَيُّ أو بَعُدَ الطّريقُ

    Yes, I hasten to you upon my eyelids,

    Whether the tribe draws near or the road stretches far.

  3. إذا كانَتْ تُحَثُّ لك المَطايا

    فَماذا يفْعَلُ الصّبُّ المَشوقُ

    If the mounts are being urged on for you,

    Then what is the lovesick, yearning lover to do?
