1. هاجِرَتي يا بِنتَ آلِ سَعدِ

    آآن حَلَبتِ لِقحَةً لِلوَردِ

    You who shun me, O daughter of the house of Saʿd,

    Is it because you milked a milch-camel for al-Ward

  2. جَهِلتِ مِن عِنانِهِ المُمتَدِّ

    وَنَظَري في عِطفِهِ الأَلَدِّ

    That you knew nothing of his stretched rein,

    And of my gaze upon his stubborn neck,

  3. إِذا جِيادُ الخَيلِ جاءَت تَردي

    مَملوءَةً مِن غَضَبٍ وَحَردِ

    When the fine horses came galloping,

    Filled with anger and wrath?
