1. A home whose dwellers are guarded by modesty,
Yet the Bedouins exceed its bounty and prosperity.

2. Among its people are their likes who became estranged,
In dress, though not in form should they keep apart.

3. Some bare males as vigorous as the males within it,
And some females dressed in patterned gowns.

4. Marvels gentled the minds of their creator,
Until from the water within it burst forth the rock.

5. Each of its walls is an idol,
Each of its ceilings a moon.

6. Secluded from the people within it is bounty described,
For every sweet comfort to it seems bitter.
