1. O lonely ruins with vanished revellers,
Point out to the lad where his loves have gone.

2. When we saw it was but an abandoned camp,
A fire whose gatherer seldom came back,

3. I went my own way in fate's despite,
From clamour and strife with whomever contends.

4. Aws ibn Maghra the hag insults me -
I shall punish Aws ibn Maghra the hag.

5. Quraysh wished he could be their brother
So your lying words would help you.

6. Quraysh, whose speech you cannot match,
Who will smash your nose at the door.
