A line from Saudi Arabia
A small living planet you can hold.
Stop, both of you, and let us weep at the memory of a beloved and a dwelling, where the sands end between al-Dakhul and Hawmal.
قفا نبك من ذكرى حبيب ومنزل / بسقط اللوى بين الدخول فحومل
امرؤ القيس
Arabian poet · c. 501–544
Born in Najd, in today's Saudi Arabia
