1. O my love, convey my regards and peace
What is the purpose of this estrangement while you are traveling?

2. Your absence is enough estrangement for us and for you
So know that I will do that estrangement

3. We only meet during the three days of Mina
Until the people disperse between us

4. After the year, with the month we follow it
As time is nothing but the year and the month

5. Had you stayed, I would have excused you
For being away, and I would have had patience

6. For my love of you, I would have vowed
For a while, but does the yearning soul make vows?

7. A girl glanced with the eye of a spinner, hung
A tendril whose growth was fresh and green

8. The buds of her heart a fawn walking unsteadily
Whose gait betrays weakness

9. In a stance, the flirts raised their eyes at him
As if they were embers

10. I recognized her abode and said to her
By the palace - after its prime, old age comes

11. The palace is mightier than the clan of Jubayrah
So it is appropriate for it to be coupled with it

12. Thus its well is desolate and its lote tree
And its red eastern slopes

13. With every broken down dilapidated ruin
Whose faded shawl is like a full moon

14. A houri whom standing up prevents
When creation and splendor are complete

15. She grew tall like a tendril on a hilltop
Bending in its length with the weight of dignity

16. He walked unsteadily, dragging his skirt
Most of his mind lost to intoxication

17. A palace in which the freshness of youth still flows
A lineage that excellence falls short of

18. Zahra rises to highness through them
Her forefathers and paternal uncles are flowers

19. Her old women inherited chastity and whatever
Good they had done, its mention remains

20. When the frost and taxation came together
They made the hooves rigid and stopped the rain

21. The north wind dominated its garments
And the embroidered coat was ripped

22. The harshness of winter did not hurt her
Nor was any screen lifted for her to look out
