1. I have not seen one mocked among a gathering
Who retaliated less with his tongue and hand,

2. Except a tender gaze with a sick eye
From which a tear flowed and overflowed generously.

3. The eye of the one who made your tears flow only wept
And was promised by a promiser from the sister tribe of Misrad.

4. If I had been excused for supporting you,
My hawks would have made the ravens of the tied camel flee.

5. Qutami would have remained while under his upper lip
Were doves with soft plumage.

6. And in it from the burdens of its people,
Is a heavily pregnant she-camel and one who grieves for the newborn.

7. When the mist clears from him in the morning,
He sees himself in a land of singing camel-litters.

8. And cheeks of ladies who are heard at dawn
Singing delicate melodies in languid tones.

9. Buxom ones with chins of lofty stature
When they incline are like flaming falling stars.

10. They called us over so we visited at midday and below them
Is a wing and pillar of the tents of Thahmad.

11. The brow above the eye of its mother
Is the twin of a servant from the tribe of Qutayn.
