1. Tell me of Hejaz, for I
Cannot cease thinking of Hejaz

2. And imagine for me what lies between Butḥān and Fals
Regarding its mosque and surroundings - what rivals it?

3. For in some of what is there, was a person
Who fulfilled the promised with determination

4. That is a pride - so may Allah disgrace an old man
Who came between me and it with obstacles

5. So my affliction since it left me has been long
And the girls of my heart, trembling

6. And my tears created the water of my face
And my heart like a crossing passenger

7. There appeared in faded scrolls, guards
Heavy of shackles and of backs

8. And 'Fawz' wished for my encounter while around me
Were vast expanses where talents wander confused

9. So she cried and then said, praying sincerely
For her in supplication without distraction

10. May Allah unite Fawz and 'Abbas
And so they lived in joy and pride
