1. وفي اللزبات إذا ما السنو

    نُ أُلقِي من بركها كلكلُ

    And amid hardships, when the years

    let fall, from their kneeling herd, the heavy breast

  2. لعام يقول له المُؤْلِفو

    ن هذا المقيم لنا المُرْحِلُ

    of a year of which owners of thousand-camel herds say:

    “This one stays with us, yet drives us away.”

  3. وكان سواء لدى الناتجين

    تمام الحوارين والمعجل

    And to those tending births, alike were

    the two camel calves—the full-term and the premature.
