1. And a band who love to slumber I roused
Upon a camel litter that mounts the saddles with ease

2. And I went to a creek that seemed
When the necks of the riding-beasts knock on the stallion

3. And water the color of murky clouds returned turbid
Few are the sounds in it in a barren land

4. And I found upon it the wolf howling as though it were
A wretch devoid of all wealth and people

5. So I said to it, "O wolf, is there a young man for you
Who consoles you without reluctance or stinginess?"

6. It said, "God give you guidance to righteousness, you have invited
To what no predator before me has come to

7. I cannot come to it nor can I manage it
Nor give me drink if your water has surplus"

8. I said, "The pond is at your disposal, I left it
With leftover little rainwater from the downpour"

9. It was delighted, howling for many she-wolves
And I returned, each to his own preoccupation
