1. And Ibn Yazeed bin Musheer protected it
With the bellies of the sick, every Hasay and Saajir

2. So he blocked it from Thadiq and its youths
And with it he blocked it from the water of Dhaat Al-Ashaa'ir

3. It moves away from the water of Al-Aswad when it saw
In it an archer wrapping the loins

4. They remembered from Wadi Toolah a watering place
Quenching though the waters of springs have dwindled

5. So it saved him from the deathly sickness and inspired him
And it preceded him, which of the predecessors!

6. The wild cats scratch it and its face is struck
With different colored fragments like piercing bullets

7. Stained from every haste as if it were
The braids of an excited she-camel, a troop of wanderers

8. When they startle it with cries it writhes
The writhing of the narrator from the knots of diseases

9. When its herder comes to it on the back of Sharjea`
Like a pretty girl with braids
