1. The thorn bush and ladder failed
And with them my dream faded

2. So lucky is he who passed on
Before the pen could flow

3. His body was not hit by insults
Nor was his religion blasphemed

4. Indeed the God conscious
Is a trader who pays in advance

5. People wondered at the fetus
If it felt any pain

6. God knew that if its life lengthened
It would be unjust

7. The old man turned defiant
After pilgrimage and farewell

8. A matter is destined for its doer
If another does it, he's blamed

9. A man who knows fervor
Not a youth who reached puberty

10. With Suhayl in its hands
Evil has a bridle and halter

11. The people groped around in the dark
Will this darkness lift?

12. In a country that leads astray
With no guideposts on its terrain

13. Before it the best imagination falls short
When its specter casts gloom
