1. On the son of kinship, the salty
He who praises today whoever praised

2. On the skin, even if it turns away
So in its greatest weakness, here

3. We sacrificed one day
A severely hot day where we felt humble

4. And he did not care for the reward
Nor did we lack provision

5. Hungry, half the olive oil
If it were possible, and the cheese

6. And we cook the white fish
And the carp and the eggplant

7. And we were scattering the pearls
Of speech so we mixed them up

8. If our weakness doubled
Playing breezes blew us

9. And if we called upon God
In His call so He brought us blessing

10. Until the day grew old
And we praised so we grew great

11. And the cooked fish arose
With nearness so we swam

12. And we said this is the mercy
That came and shaded us

13. And we stayed when we saw the bread
Draw near before being called

14. To a table lined
With loaves folded over

15. On it is basil, we did not dress it with vinegar or it would spoil
And poured into its broth

16. What still drew us to it
Flowing in its waters before

17. Racing alongside ships
So it remained the life

18. Above its highest years
It folded its contemporaries, time

19. So no horns remained for it
So when my eyes were lined with it

20. I widened them with curses
We undid the necklace of companionship

21. From a body heavy with meaning
And tore for it a coat

22. Covering our greatest shame
The hand turns back in disappointment

23. From its closest path
So completeness was not for us in satisfaction or we fastened

24. And the Sheikh wandered
Until the world dripped away

25. So the bitterness of life
Drew near, no less than what drew near

26. As long as worries come
And do not depart from us

27. Neither does the self delight in it
Nor does the heart love it

28. As if the drinking were cooked
On its right forearm

29. And the scent of the deadly qat
Steamed from it so we evaporated

30. And he said "seize the union
Of a maiden who perfected beauty"

31. So she came, shaming the full moon
And a delicate myrtle branch

32. And hunts the hearts of drink
With her eyelids and teeth

33. So we lied, and God refused
For us, and proper behavior

34. And we stood, wrapping modesty
When we stood

35. And we said "O God’s planning
We fornicated after growing up"

36. So he showed friendliness to the people
And hid the hatred and malice

37. He is baseness, and what
Matched us was a layer of baseness
