1. O son of Yazid, chief of the tents
It became difficult at night's waning crescent

2. Confused in a night of thick darkness
Moan in it and do not be shy

3. The pure water became polluted at the watering place
The jars circulate among the palms

4. After the era of loud warbling
None sleeps but the sly sleeper

5. Until when the walker doubts his shoes
And the dog pants in the heat

6. And the coolness of dawn spreads
On a path of soft sands

7. Repel the white ants like the woodpecker
And the father of loud cries is led

8. As the stallion is led with the whip
It was authorized by the frowning Asma’

9. Who does not know sleep on the bed
Neglected, conversing with the rocks

10. When they argue loudly
And the shade she walks in is swept

11. And the soul nearly wished for the grave
To unite the heart and the bed

12. Her brother went away content
For they are the absent dear ones

13. At the water bucket’s spout and sprinkling
The soft sprinkling of pouring

14. Lighter dreams than the bed
That lad, not like Abu Nashnash

15. The shabby, dusty, disheveled
Hollow like the brittle reed

16. Hedgehog of the night of livelihood
Traveling to sustenance with the bats

17. And the bird trappers in the nests
