LessonsʿAntarah ibn Shaddād: Ruins, Love for ʿAblah and Tribal Conflict (verses 1–11)Quiz

وَتَحُلُّ عَبْلَةُ بِالْجَوَاءِ وَأَهْلُنَا بِالْحَزْنِ فَالصَّمَّانِ فَالْمُتَثَلَّمِ
ʿAblah stays at al-Jawāʾ, while our people are in al-Ḥazn, al-Ṣammān and al-Mutathallam.

The named locations are arranged in sequence: al-Jawāʾ, al-Ḥazn, al-Ṣammān, al-Mutathallam. The geographical details register the painful distance between desired nearness and actual residence.

Here al-Ḥazn is a geographical designation or description of hard ground; it must not automatically be translated as the emotional noun “grief.”
