1. بالأَجرَعِ عَن أَيمَنِ حُزَوى خِيَمُ

    تُحمَى بِجُفونٍ قَد بَراها السَّقَمُ

    At al-Ajraʿ, to the right of Huzwa, stand tents,

    guarded by eyelids that sickness has worn thin.

  2. يا سَعدُ إِذا شارَفتَها كُن حَذِراً

    مِنهَا فَلَكَم طُلَّ بِها ثَمَّ دَمُ

    O Saʿd, when you approach them, be wary

    of them—for how much blood has been shed there unavenged!
