As though you had not journeyed south of Khalṣ,
As if you had not journeyed south with honest men
Nor encamped at the timeworn ruins,
Nor sat upon time-worn ruins,
وَلَمُand did not تَطلُبseek ظَعائِنَcamels bearing women راقِصاتٍswaying as they trot
وَلَمُ تَطلُب ظَعائِنَ راقِصاتٍ

عَلى أَحداجِهِنَّ مَها الدَبيلِ
Nor sought the swaying camels bearing women,
Nor sought out dancing girls
With the oryx of al-Dabīl upon their litters.
With anklets jingling on their feet
