1. A village whose echo he calls India
The night excites longing in it

2. Like one with sorrows who finds solace in loss
Wherein the hot sands harbor roses

3. Of what the twittering grouse bowed to
Nibbling the Euphorbia stalks

4. The kneading of the dough was still damp
The night slips smoothly down

5. Where the people of Najd called it Najd
Until the sitting was blessed and the love fulfilled

6. The pattering of hooves that shorten the distance
With legs that raced an ostrich to water

7. As if refusing the partnership that slumbers
When the path in the wilderness crooked

8. The strides of a Meccan excelling at racing
Though the specialty of their nights straightened

9. They blocked it from its burrows or blocked
It from them as it limped, injured, away

10. When the war drums beat exhausted
You'd think there were some hyenas underneath me

11. He ventured out in the night and cold violently
Arching and bleating, warding off the cold

12. The camels straighten their necks, awakened
Your awakening from the Yemeni's sheath

13. Repelling blame and shortening praise
Their dark manes obscuring meanings

14. They no longer reckon people will visit me
Showing, from anger, faces like pus

15. Sick, though they were healthy inside
No tumor of one who swelled healed

16. When the satire's opposition hardened
I knew the greater number prepared

17. And the pillar, if you compete with the firmest
For us, when the day of horrors stretched out

18. And the days of misery spread wide
And though they commanded harvesting the harvest

19. On a day of stirring or covering intensity
And we did not find any matter of import

20. While we have not seen any proper matter
We bring down upon the people because of us misery

21. And whoever we wanted boldness and schemes from
By our forcing servitude, became a slave

22. You see, when the respectable prepared
A messenger from us, guiding and praiseworthy

23. Through him we scattered the parasites and glory
And our uncle is the best of uncles, mottled

24. Qais, when the milkbag was extracted
The greatest in battle, an army

25. The safest with covenants and pacts
That, and my grandfather the most fortunate, Sa'd

26. If you judge us fairly, judging
We judge fairly, a number judged

27. And enough the day of superiority, reckoned
And if we wronged people, we said, deliberately

28. So you, blaming a matter done
If you expect us, then strike Uhod

29. We have from each spearpoint a spearpoint
From cows, milk and provision

30. And our life provision for us and repayment
And the family of Zayd, an advance and delegation

31. As lions from each people, lions
You'd see them, if an affair became serious

32. Necks hardened from the harshness of glory
And a group who don't complain of twisting

33. Slavering the necks of phalanxes with biting
When they charge on a day of arming, charging

34. You see only one grimacing, chewing
A Franciscan made fat in body

35. Whose appetite for threats grows
When he repeats the roar and readies

36. And they became angry with great anger
I thought it covered him in the color pink

37. Wearing only a loincloth or tattered garment
It's as if when his fangs sharpen

38. They rebound off the other two, blunted
In a cleft I see him most severe

39. With resolve like an anvil that met an anvil
When he frowned his scowl intensified

40. Arrogant, defiant, sneering
His rage helped his wrathful brow

41. They race with the gargle of the stream racing
High-stepping and purplish red

42. You hear for them the earth groan
And if you saw a shoulder and arm

43. Of them pelted with firm throws
You'd think their skins full of vesicles

44. From the swelling of tumors that crept out
