1. Do you know the abode by the evening star
Like a tattoo on the wrist, never beautiful

2. A wild animal cleaned by the blowing wind
And summer only ruined the abode

3. Or an arbor whose bottom exhales
A perfume with the palms of a swift camel ladling

4. Taking care of choice camels, among them a milker
With smooth neck being fed and another obstinate

5. That is your religion when you avoided
Their burdens like an untamed young camel

6. A caravan over which are canopies
And a black-eyed slave girl like the blackest kohl

7. Like the defective camel with neck strap or a tender
Calf under a reddish saddle cloth

8. Turning away from a consistent darkness
In its everlasting horizon that was never folded

9. Secret places like ar-Risha when
The morning rain has illuminated it

10. Did the night excite you like an exciting night upon
Asma from the one with patience turning away

11. He created in weakness, it casts for him
The interior of a guitar and a heavy echo

12. So it dodged with its lightning, and thunder
Until the lightning of al-Ajwal

13. Tattered clouds, their bareness thus not
Possessing rain like that of provisions

14. It boiled and its bitterness stung the wind, and if
It approached the land it did not include it

15. Insistently coming first, it casts in front of it
It throws Umm As-Samr the longest

16. Appearing friendly, so it traded with it
A sequence of an imposing night from it

17. For every district obtained by the moon
Murmurs drive it away like peeled wood

18. So the eye remained still upon the followers
If they become steady in the mud

19. Like the white foreheads prominent in color
Extinguished by the descent of the slow camel train

20. Quench the pact of Salma and do not
Let the pact of the fickle maker disconcert you

21. Leave off from this intimate if he
Turned away and substituted - so substitute

22. And divert from love with one followed
By the Creator and did not hurry

23. Like an endowment - no tranquility in it - defeat it
With the law like the wide-mouthed jug

24. From a heart of spring and a white basin
Soft - it recalled a weaned camel calf

25. Choice of milk - it has a stroking
Like the stroking of the black designated camel

26. The night saddled it with a caravan so its garment
Sought to avoid straightness

27. White like the foam that bubbles when
It dissolved in a reverberating boil

28. That is their finery and equip them when
The courtyard did not prevent them from traveling

29. Shall I make the stab reach the non-stroking
Blow with the consistent separator

30. Of what I fulfill, and the youth's zeal
For the wolf, the old she-camel, and killing

31. If it touches our settlements with
Some of it while charging and heavily armed

32. Do not prevent death though stopping it
That is destined for it at the rope

33. No benefit in a dead person while
The end of the rope is attached to him

34. It led to ruin when its strength sprouted but did not
Ride when they traveled and did not camp
