1. Remember the gazelles of Sal'a and Najda
That stirred longing and I became enamoured

2. And I extended the hand of grief to endurance
But found the sale of patience from it narrow

3. And the foot of pacts increases me with youthfulness
Just as the Babylonian did to the emancipated

4. O Sa'd! Does the water of a smile have weakness
Or is that the lightning of lightnings flashing?

5. Not everything shining in their ruins
But I have given an ardent heart

6. The ruling of separation in its oppression denied me
Except for a gloating one and I found none sympathising

7. Wealth and songs have abandoned us but they
Were not the first to waste a covenant

8. So for it the union became pretense
Reproach became bitter and affection became flattery

9. I have not attained beyond steads of delights
If my heart settled or my tear flowed

10. And behind that joyful one is a heart of a lovesick
Who did not attain the softness of youthfulness

11. Two grieving ones asking my tears for their worries
And for how long has the captive asked the emancipated?

12. The whites of the languishing glances, their eyelids
Lethally, like the blackness of their eyelids, do not fear

13. A brunette who folds the blackness from her sides
With a gap-toothed mouth and brighter cheeks

14. She unleashed her braids and swayed her figure
The dawn of youth so it swayed a leafy branch

15. An idol from idols ordering us with love for it
Forever and prohibiting us from decency

16. Visit one with a mole not happening by chance
To join in the lineage of sweetness annexed

17. Delayed the alms of beauty in the twenties
For religion, while I was a flattering beggar

18. For existence my heart dwelling or stabbing
With it and my eyelid withholding or spending

19. We still recognise its eyelid in its actions
Until the arrow hit its appointed destination

20.
How many a visit completed with it their breaths

21. And the perfume simply speaking was enough to perfume
And an Anza-tree whose shade was shaded

22. After the barrenness had weakened our horses and camels
With two complainers from the shoals as if

23. They hoarded its surplus fearing the cup would pour
With the doe not in their worries, but its intoxication

24. Specific to them and the places of watering to it
Everyone erected so when the course of fate inclined with it

25. Took the easy pillows as a supported
Like the green meadow they immersed with it

26. The highest reaches of select speech
They accompanied the whale of planets swimming with it

27. And the eagle in the atmosphere flying
Where the mounts are like ships and steering them
