1. The prince's worry has overcome him, may God make him well,
Great with wine and pens,

2. Piercing in his lies, not with swords,
Decisive in his affairs, not with blades,

3. Appearing with free praise,
The poems of 'Urwah ibn Hizam,

4. And he cries the crazy cry of Layla
At the hour of permission or after the meal,

5. His anger in praise and asking,
And his pleasure in privacy and a boy.
