1. لا تَخافي أَن تَهجُري ما بَقينا

    أَنتِ بِالوُدِّ وَالكَرامَةِ أَحرى

    Do not be afraid to leave, so long as we live.

    You are more deserving of affection and honor.

  2. يا اِبنَةَ المالِكِيِّ عَزَّ عَلَينا

    أَن تُقيمي بَعدَ السَليلِ بِبُصرى

    O daughter of al-Maliki, it pained us

    That you should remain in Bosra after al-Salil.

  3. كَم أَجازَت مِن مَهمَهٍ يَترُكُ العي

    سَ بِهِ ظُلَّعاً قِياماً وَحَسرى

    How many a trackless waste she has crossed, which leaves the pale camels

    Lame, standing still within it, and exhausted.
