1. قُم صاحِ تَلَقَّ ركبهم إِذ عاجوا

    هاتيكَ جمالُهُنَّ وَالأَحداجُ

    Rise, friend, greet their caravan as they turn aside.

    Yonder are their camels and the howdahs.

  2. لَمّا نَغَمَ الحُداةُ في إِثرِهِم

    هاجوا طَربي وَأَيّ شوق هاجوا

    When the camel-drivers sang in their wake,

    They stirred my rapture—and what longing they stirred!
