1. Sitting reminds me of God
And tears flow copiously from my eyes

2. O daughter of my uncle, God's book has taken me away from you
Could I have prevented what God had ordained?

3. If I return, the Lord of all people will make me return
And if I meet my Lord, then seek a replacement

4. I was not lame or blind to be excused
Nor suffering from poverty, unable to move

5. I had a burning need
Which I hoped to fulfill, a camel laden

6. The lying, deceitful one, hiding in the well
Her legs outspread, lacking any sense

7. As if, after being impregnated by the devil
She was possessed, wandering the sands

8. She spent the night with a fox, trying to arouse him
A sly leader, if he desired the likes of her

9. She incited him, but he refused to respond
So she was sure that he was dead or eaten

10. Then she was aroused, after sensing the scent
Of a bold hunter, naked of weapons

11. With dogs like flash floods, pinning him down
The brother of a rat, dirty and unkempt

12. She left none of them alive
Until she quenched their thirst with the cup of death

13. Whenever she approached battle, she made him
A harbinger of death, teaching him to withdraw

14. Until when the peasants descended and
The winds ceased, leaving the open plain

15. He complained and yearned for his mother
While she yearned for him, addling the mind

16. I never disobeyed any leader unless accused
By me, but one's fate is unforeseen
