1. O daughter of 'Amr, do not insult my daughter
Your kindness is enough, if you are kind

2. Woe to you, if you become Muslim, for you are you
If you saw my erect tail like a jug

3. After Khadari, a polished shoot
Amongst the robbing of the whitest, flawless

4. Your spittle and the white hair are the mask of old age
My body has become bent like you bent it

5. And my roughness after the prime of my youth
From times I know not, even if you asked

6. I care not for Friday compared to Saturday
I wander heedlessly in the time

7. Like a water snake swimming in mud
Human and Jinn alike, as you described

8. I ride what is less than outrageous immorality
So the people of my house are the best and my path is straight

9. If you see me keeping silent
I stand in the place of firmness

10. Braver than one with a blunt sword
My ribs rattle with my trembling

11. Twisting and writhing the same either way
The ambitious peak has submitted

12. To his tempting devil
My sound rebuttal to the enemy and my voice

13. Until the clear is seen as the obscure
My sincerity belies his sincerity and exposes my shock

14. The land of Jinn under hot sands
With meadows like the dunes of Bukht

15. Covering their various undertones
More compliant than the guide of a dark night

16. Bellowing with the listening of the expert guide
And if the disturbing thorns prick

17. Five like the strand of plaited hair
When the girls of Arhabi at their peak

18. Come close to the farthest part with care
And choose supple youth like resin of tar

19. From the tallest and most roaring camels
And when they pick him out from the elite

20. Imported long like the ropes of ships
Deviating crookedly from clever subtlety

21. How much did they bend to and fro as suits their nature
Oppressively, and thus is their way

22. They shake off purer than shoes of Saturday
With spiritual feet and silken hands
