1. I stayed for a day and a night at the pomegranate trees
Looking if I would see Umaymah's maker

2. So your palace is to me every day a poem
In which the saddles' leather bindings whisper

3. I spend my day talking and wishing
And sorrow gathers me and the night together

4. My day is the people's day until when
The night appears, the beds shake me to you

5. And a flock as if their eyes are
The doe’s eyes veiled over them are the veils

6. Those cannot be obeyed by one humming
Nor the arrogantly bleating nimble one

7. Nor every silent amazed one as if he is
Deaf with his hearing blocked

8. But their keeper is every one with blood ties
Long in settlement, binding the coward and the bold

9. He drops thoroughly tough warriors
And the best of the adversaries’ doors are the tough

10. He is cautious of the guard so he is careful
And sometimes there the places of killing are

11. As the archer hid for a roaring beast
So they were alarmed while he hopes for game

12. By my life, they have delighted me beyond what you see
And I attained what no follower attained from them

13. I ignited the morning without any shame and it led me
As the tractable handsome one is led on a rope

14. So I was handed over by the mourners except for a dove
Collared whom I did as I do

15. When we run out of tears in the evening
Our next date is a rising sunbeam
