1. Had I feet instead of a head
I would still head to Najd

2. A lightness no other possesses
May Allah not make me lose it

3. And impossible that He sees
Another like me or after me

4. A man who can't handle rough terrain
Except with great effort

5. Thus you see this matter
Eats dates with no discomfort

6. Yet it's said about me
That I'm inclined to mischief

7. By my nights and my peace
My luck and India

8. Then I own nothing
But a lynx and eternity

9. And foolishness and my life
For I have a supple head

10. The most patient of heads in a row
With no amulet or appointment

11. Created with palms of generosity
For those who hope for flowers

12. A spring that brings hoping men
To the sweetest flowers

13. Not devoid of favor from Him
To the free He gives

14. For He is steadfast in truth
And fulfiller of every promise
