1. The withholder of giving is blamed until
Eyelids that do not help with blinking

2. Whether I acted poorly in deed or speech
You have tested my patience and endurance

3. When the animal's intellect departs from it
What virtue has a companion over a camel?

4. I see time passing by, not vanishing
Glory to the Overseer of Perfection

5. Eyes have lined with kohl for wealth
With what is nurtured on the dunes' ridges

6. In the morning we walked the wilderness
Vigilant like the drinkers of camel milk

7. Not two riding horses or a wager
Nor two camels akin to perfection

8. So let not the beautiful pride in their image
For ugliness can be folded like beauty

9. I am not angry when events unfold
With preferring right over left

10. Thus is the passage of time, darkness and dawn
And wind from south or north

11. With no money I departed the world
And destitute I left without wealth
