1. Is there any clarity to distinguish the separated ones?
Is there any turning back for nights that have passed?

2. Are there any days like the prime days of youth?
Are there days that return as they were with happiness?

3. If you told your brothers today, stop by
For some food and cool water

4. Would they stay until they finish the curds
And deserve their reward and complete my praise?

5. If not, then go - peace be upon you
You are misguided and lack my integrity

6. Today my rope that I contend with
Its slackening cannot be pulled tight

7. Rather, by Umm Amr let her ransom herself
When pawned, she follows the pawn with determination

8. Oh how I wish I knew what makes them promise me
The intention of an estranged house and distance

9. The intention of Umm Amr where intentions wander
Then the slanderers are left with her after me

10. Do I have spite for those who are my enemies
As Umm Amr gloats over them against my affection?

11. And my thoughts about her are every thought about an absent one
Loyal in advice or lasting in the covenant

12. And my thoughts of her, by God, are that she will not harm me
As long as she has sheep that will not harm her with me

13. And they claimed that the lover, when he comes near
Is wearied, and distance cures passion

14. With everything we tried to cure yet nothing cured what was between us
Though being near the house is better than distance

15. My love in this land, the land of Tihama
Is not level, and not from the plateau of Najd

16. By God, Lord of the House, you will not find me
Ever trying to cut the rope deliberately between us

17. Nor do I buy something that would sever
What is between us until I am laid in the grave

18. Out of love for her I have loved those who do not love me
And treated kindly those I used to shun

19. Oh sometimes longing and affection
Lead me in my distance from her to a rarely found remembrance

20. Oh light breeze of Najd, when you stir from Najd
You have increased my delight and passion over my passion

21. Did the slopes gleam in the splendor of dawn
Over the prime of soft green vegetation?

22. You cried as a infant cries though you were not
Frigid, and showed what you did not used to show

23. My camel yearns from Adan to Najd
And the passage of time does not make it forget its homeland

24. If I wanted, I would meet the warriors and I do not see
Anyone like my people so my affection befriends them

25. And I cast off those who cast off from a bow of hatred
And for my Master I have no boundary or limit
