Sulaima said, "You are not a guide

قالت سليمى لست بالحادي المدل

1. Sulaima said, "You are not a guide,
Why can't you own the camel's pillars?

١. قالَت سُلَيمى لَستَ بِالحادي المُدِل
ما لَكَ لا تَملِكُ أَعضادَ الإِبِل

2. The cousin is a flame for Sulaima,
Noisy in Al-Shawl, clamorous and active in Hayy Rafil.

٢. رُبَّ اِبنِ عَمٍّ لِسُلَيمى مُشمَعِل
في الشَولِ وَشواشٌ وَفي الحَيِّ رَفِل

3. Squinting through the spear Al-Khatil,
My lover, leave me with some punishment,

٣. أَحوَسَ بَينَ القَومِ بِالرُمحِ الخَطِل
عاذِلَتي أَبقي قَليلاً مِن عَذَل

4. And if you say I will perish, make my death nearer.
I saddled a she-camel created like a camel,

٤. وَإِن تَقولي هالِكٌ أَقُل أَجَل
قَرَّبتُ عَنساً خُلِقَت خَلقَ الجَمَل

5. Don't complain about the work you did,
Except the expenses of a day that became less.

٥. لا تَشتَكي ما لَقِيَت مِنَ العَمَل
إِلّا أَصاريفَ نِيارٍ قَد هَزَل

6. As if the bridle and the hobble have been removed from it
And the whip marked its shoulders.

٦. كَأَنَّها وَالنَسعُ عَنها قَد فَضَل
وَنَهَلَ السَوطُ بِدَفَّيها وَعَل

7. A burning lover eating ripe fruits,
Poured on him a bowl when he was inattentive

٧. مُوَلَّعٌ يَقرو صَريماً قَد بَقَل
صَبَّ عَلَيهِ قانِصٌ لَمّا غَفَل

8. And the sun is like a mirror in the palm of the one-eyed.
Wearing the anklets, they eat unripe dates.

٨. وَالشَمسُ كَالمِرآةِ في كَفِّ الأَشَل
مُقَلَّداتِ القِدِّ يَقرونَ الدَغَل

9. Then he collapsed on his side and bent down,
And slipped like a waterskin on the curved side.

٩. ثُمَّ تَرَدّى جانِبَيهِ وَأَدَل
وَزَلَّ كَالإِبريقِ بِالمَتنِ القَبَل

10. As if he is wearing a garment and he did,
A linen filled with cotton that can't withstand

١٠. كَأَنَّهُ مُسَربَلٌ وَقَد فَعَل
مُلاءَ كَتّانٍ وَرَيطاً ما اِحتَمَل

11. Except being roasted by fire or kohl."

١١. إِلّا الشَوى مِنهُ وَإِلّا المُكتَحَل
