1. As if their sandals were worn by those arriving,
Who have bent down the tops of erect pillars.

2. Boats made of palm-leaf stalks sailed by,
Leaving the meadows or rugged mountains.

3. So he was the cure, she flaunted him,
With a slender body and loose belt.

4. She leads the camel with shrunken hump
As a ewe struck by arrows.

5. She deemed the food disgraceful so left it
The morning after panic when burdens overwhelmed.

6. By your father O Wara son of Aus
You have shamed your people in this talk.

7. You have shamed them a clear shame
While the son of Shamam stood firm.

8.
When my dogs eat their flesh

9. You will gnaw your hands from itch.
Will you leave a people who killed Huzayl

10. And threaten me with some dead of Judham?
You did not do as Ibn Qays did

11. When sincerity's progeny among men slept.

12. He traveled on cushions and left Awfa
And slept while the night was not complete.

13. So at dawn, apart from him, were far cows
And around you were scattered tents.

14. Like one with a disease in one testicle
While the other has no illness.

15. He insisted on screaming so she ripped it off
With a knife that had a demolished blade.

16. So he gathered his clothes with no innocence
Upon poets whose resolution arrows demolish.
