طَرقَ الخَيالُ وَلا كَلَيلَةِ مُدلِجِ

السياق · The story

The poem describes the visitation of the beloved's phantom to the poet while he was traveling in the desert. It is followed by his boasting of drinking wine and setting out on his horse to hunt gazelles—comparing himself to a falcon—as well as his pride in his courage and his people's fierceness in battle. It also describes the barrenness of pastures in winter and his people's generosity in providing milk for guests or slaughtering camels to feed the needy.
