LessonsLabīd ibn Rabīʿah: The Departing Caravan, Memory of Nawār and Distant Destinations (Verses 11–19)Quiz

مُرِّيَّةٌ حَلَّتْ بِفَيْدٍ وَجَاوَرَتْ ۞ أَهْلَ الْحِجَازِ فَأَيْنَ مِنْكَ مَرَامُهَا
She is a woman associated with Murrah who settled at Fayd and lived near the people of the Ḥijāz; how could reaching her now be within your grasp?

Murriyyah is a nisbah, marking Nawār’s association with the Murrah tribe. Ḥallat bi-Fayd names a place of settlement; jāwarat ahl al-Ḥijāz places her near the people of that region. Fa-ayna minka marāmuhā is not a request for travel directions but a rhetorical expression of how remote she has become.
