1. The camel rider journeys on to the farthest goals
No song of praise the lions in their forests sing

2. Of what worth are our sheathed swords to them
Among their sheaths and those the beasts do bring

3. Ruin comes not from shunning of men’s abodes
Nor from traversing the farthest wildering

4. Pearls are native to the gulf, but when they go
They deck the crowns and circlets of the kings

5. Bear with Time, though he visit grief; the grieved
Lose at the start and in the reckoning

6. Musk scents the clothes of hunters at the first
Then incense-burners with their glowing rings
