1. The evening was prolonged as we were at the hillsides
And I stayed up the night that brought me worries

2. I loaded them and the luggage of a listless old she-camel
With the freedom of hands and the agility of a jump

3. It did not leave any honor of her saddle that would save
The elite from the grinding of persistent misfortunes

4. And companions who would give their blood to be drank
Without any qualms if that would lessen my sorrows

5. I stuck my companions with your love binding them
And our hearts oozing with fright and panic

6. Sealing our friendships away from prying eyes
We bend aside for them the edges of the turbans

7. And the traits so we are not provoked by
Every angry and wrathful slanderer

8. You see the fear from their dwellings on
Our sides like the sides of a stray camel

9. And I have indeed journeyed to you from a distant land
With beautiful, humped she-camels heading to the shrine

10. Continuously travelling when the violent sandstorms
Slap the straying camels with strong wings

11. As if they were cats blown by the winds
With slaps of vast wings

12. Qatari she-camels with amongst them Mahri she-camels
From the side of an owner of tired she-camels

13. Arrogant she-camels that alarm with bells when
The guides gather the sides of the riding party

14. Until I arrived at the son of their most generous man
In lineage, and they are like fulfilling a promise

15. So he made hospitality by welcoming us
With a fresh sea, pleasant to drink from

16. And when the countries ignored us, I wished him well
And his actions were that of a companion

17. I am happy that among all of Quraysh, you
Are the glory of the idols and the object of hearts

18. Smooth handed, not disobedient or stubborn
Straightened after destitution and drought

19. Alas! Alas! The pleasures of Qatari she-camels
And oh! The soreness of persistent misfortunes
