1. Alas! O slave of God are you still infatuated
With a young maiden who gives you only threats and rejection?

2. As if the protectors of the living from Bakr bin Wa'il
In Dhi Al-Rumath were lions that took up residence.

3. You were foolish, accustomed to a habit,
And each man persists in what he is accustomed to.

4. So you have been stripped at the worst possible time,
Lying slain alone amidst the sand grouse.

5. The daughter of Han'i grieves you,
Mocking and showing you only hostility and rejection.

6. She saw the matter before it happened,
But the will of God guided you to return.

7. And Obaidullah said to me, don't rush
And wait until tomorrow comes.

8. What you wished for has come about and she slipped away
Leaving your pocket empty and torn.

9. Failed is the brother of Al-Hujaa, Hurayth bin Jabir
With a musical instrument that plays only noisy tunes.
