1. Our acquaintance unaccustomed to visit us
In the morning of his departure and its dawn

2. While you, if the beloved prepares for travel
Perplexed or patient is the heart in its grief

3. And he who has patience gets used to it after weeping
At the agony of his sighs and his moaning

4. I find you never cease to get accustomed to separation
And the beloved whose visit is difficult is forbidden

5. A Hejazi woman, never from you and her mother
And without her the path of the dear one and its fence

6. I left the place of the star in the highest summit
Its lanterns illuminate its lofty palaces

7. So we were accustomed by friendship to approach
Though his aloofness and estrangement hurt us

8. And I am content with aloofness while between us
A watcher when the beloved’s conscience is right

9. When the lover purified his love for his beloved
Then any harm for his sake does no injury

10. Come let us believe, O beloved ones in love
In what the jealous one said and supposed

11. So the youths claimed, that for the passionate lover
If inhibitions are shattered in the lovers

12. What is it to us, in a lover who visits us
Without doubt or a lover we visit

13. A night, when the Pleiades inclined
Its darkness, the wings of gloom its crossing

14. I knocked with it the one in the headscarf angrily
While explaining it, the twitter of its bird was absent

15. It wavered with it, not seeking any shameful sin
But he knew the discourse and its minister

16. When the breeze of the zephyr moves its train
The fragrance of everything emanates from it

17. The dimness of dawn frightens me when it appears
In the blackest darkness, its warning

18. And one disheveled, who still terrifies us
On a balcony, its clapping and twittering

19. Perplexed, was it the rooster or a concerned warner
Beware of a watcher whose time of wakefulness approached

20. So is the night of the lovers, its long duration
Harmful to them, in its state and its shortness

21. Every two secret lovers feared exposure
Sincerity of discourse and lies flowed between them

22. And everyone claiming glory and pride of might
Protected the children of Nabhan, it is not his wont

23. Contained the glory of the world, together, Abu Amr
For him is the first glory, it transgressed and its last

24. A flirtatious Utayki, as if his forehead
Is a shining moon that illuminates the dark with its light

25. And how many ambitious with a glance to the sky
He turned his eye away while it despaired

26. He has a lofty honored house without his moving it
The orbits of a bosom, its corners and rocks

27. Time witnessed, of which you are its eye
That you, O sun of Utayk, are its prince

28. You are the branch of glory in the lofty palm tree
Abu Amr while all people are your vines

29. For you are the seal of old glory and its collar
Its pulpit, its crown or its throne

30. With you God made time live and singled it out
So its transgressor may be safe and the poor gain riches

31. For us in the children of Nabhan, with every need
Offspring who seek refuge or protection that gives refuge

32. By your life, he who feared time and sought refuge
In the protection of the children of Nabhan, mighty is their help

33. We knew the core of glory in past Azd
Of old, its days passed and its eras

34. Inheriting it, the family of Utayk and after them
To you its inheritance and fate came

35. So for no other Azdi has merit
Except what we imitate from you or borrow

36. Abu Amr you made live and increased glory
Eternally and its affairs yielded to you

37. And lived your noblest son, al-Qaram Muhammad
Gladdening you through him each day, his joy

38. And you attained your wish in Majid al-Khayyim, a lord
Whose merit appeared to all people and his good
