1. She yearned for Najd and its gazelles that she loved
Her cell phones are ringing for her friends

2. She longed for the wet nurse so she sang in rapture
Yet she longed for her home

3. I love the slender branched acacia protected by spear-wood
Her passion for slender is from its branches

4. My tears speak, writing and addressing
The inarticulate melody in its tones

5. My love for the Bani is intrinsic and has no cure
It is an ardent love I cannot conceal

6. Exalted is her love from the heart of one who hides
For every obvious affair exposes its counterpart affair

7. It is as if our hearts are scrolls
Folded, read from their titles

8. Can a lad then be safe from suspicion
If he asks about my heart during its affliction?

9. He recites it to me in the ruins at night
On the branches of spear-wood in its dunes

10. Gentle, bright, I asked my tears
Oh my eyelids, like her eyelids

11. Her gardens are a paradise for every soul
If it aspires to be in its pleasure

12. My heart is Magian, inspired by love
So why does it incline toward its fires?

13. O doll of the quarter that shed my blood
With the sharpness of abandonment

14. The abodes have become, like corpses
Devoid of dwellers, dreary in their expanses

15. It is as if the lovers are pre-Islamic
Worshipping idols in it

16. I shed my tears wastefully for Ālā
If they solidified, they would be priceless

17. I long for Damascus and for
Jeroun its neighbor, longing for its neighbors

18. And Ashrafiyyin and Masalla and Dhari
I loved them and Al-Wahd from its race track

19. And the two valleys, their birds trilled
With what pleases the hearing of their songs

20. The abode is paradise, the critic despaired
Of its lovely maidens and boys

21. The slender acacia bent its mantle
On the spear-wood without any thorns

22. The slash of light on the cheek revealed
Its breasts with softness of its pomegranate

23. As if its dimples are stringed pearls
Or its pearls composed from its dimples

24. That slender and languorous enchantment
Who encountered it is no more human

25. Her kohl is bewitching, her coyness deadly
Her reversal captivating, her charm deadly

26. Her waters are like cups
Burnished by polishing from their rims

27. Her milking pen are brides escorted
In the dyes of tattoos in their colors

28. The cloud wept so it wore its silvery rim
So it frolicked proudly erecting its spear-wood

29. Whoever at any time despaired of its light
Was like the swarthy sulfur in its teeth

30. It was a theater for my brothers and I
My soul was free since it was created longing for its brothers

31. The schemes of settled life in this land and the provision
Of refined religion to its youth

32. It towered high its banners
From the epitome of glory over its expanse

33. The creator made wondrous with the fingers
That pored over its writing tablet

34. Its plains, its cattle-pen, its precipice
Its flowing sands, its temptation, its flirtation

35. Adorned by it, the world was deserted
So its beautiful valley swaggered in its steeps

36. Agile of mind from its breeze
More blissful than its groves

37. It surpassed mankind in eloquence accompanied
By an unmatched benevolence

38. The feet of mankind slip in aspiring to its glory
And the minds dance from its rhetoric

39. So do not judge with certainty about its inimitability
And withdraw the hand of pardon over its plains

40. O son of merit, excellent are the pages
Where my soul submitted to it

41. It extended its right hand so
Its ideas entered paradise from its gardens

42. I believed in its superiority and nothing
Benefited it but its faith

43. Relationships are like the slender acacia
Growing in cheeks, melody in its singing

44. Every tourism enjoyable and lawful
Though pasture, but where is its Sa‘dān?

45. If the hands of kings contained its words
Only their crowns would be studded with it

46. It is the Suiydāwāt surpassing every miracle
That hands were unable to pierce

47. In every past like the canal itself
Taking vengeance on enemies like its horsemen

48. Burnished where rust tarnished
And mixed on my cheek from its time

49. The tablets of white eggs gleamed
As its pure complexion gleamed from its colors

50. As if its lines are regiments
That misfortunes cannot hope to betray

51. Your power’s realm in repute and over
What your power built of an authority

52. Your rule in war, the helper of its victory
And you in peace, brother of its council

53. So it is the glorious one and the sovereigns behind it
Like steeds of horses in its race

54. Caesar fell short of its firmness
And its justice made Anūshirwān forgetful

55. I swear what engulfed them like a washbowl
Where are the oceans of the world from its waves?

56. The Giver lavished thousands in its excuse
As camels frolicking in its meadow

57. The excellent horses whose girths can hardly contain them
Saddled, charging with the bridle-strap

58. If hard rocky ground were trodden by its hoof
Sweet water would spring from its whirling

59. The money-killer, what are its purses
During pilgrimage season but its shrouds?

60. The full moon of its banners are clouds
Its lightning Indian in its grasp

61. If its patience were weighed against mountains
It would lift the mountains of earth in its scales

62. Or the lions smeared by its might
Would empty the countries of its sheep

63. It is as if the bells around it are protective damsels
The famous knight from its horsemen alarms you

64. Circling thoughts carrying it
Fingers circling in its range

65. Every meaning wandering the world to
Its protector attributes its origin or it of Bisān

66. By God my poem does not equal its prose
Nor does anything of mine if it is coral

67. So do not condemn it with reproach, it only
Tasked itself within its capacity

68. And accept its excuse openly and take
Its genealogy that builds to ‘Adnān

69. The basis of rhymes did not engage with mortal
Like others of its kind of human or jinn

70. It came walking proudly, arrogantly
And its arrogance more comely than its cheek

71. Visiting the one above it, Muḥammad
The best of what he desired for its delight

72. As if I gifted offspring of Labīd
Or smoothed the water over its pebbles
