1. The beloved's love does not run out
And despair consoles if you dwell in ravines

2. Long has been your love and yearning for her
If only the length of your infatuation could avail you

3. Iraq and its people were the love
So if their love distances from me, then let it go far

4. Then at night let my she-camel leave them
She ignores the fodder and is guided by the Pole Star

5. She runs when the ostrich falls with its plumage
The run of the wild ass, fearing the narrowness of the road

6. A generous she-camel when I rouse her from the abode
Her teats are milked with a twisted rope

7. And when the riders entrust one another after the night journey
And the mirage flows over the surfaces of the pebbles

8. She frolics and the oryx falls from her swiftness
Pulling the companion to the smooth bare mountain

9. To the land of people whose guidance is not sought
While the guidance of other people is refusal

10. Like Turaifah ibn Al-Abd, their guidance
They struck the nape of his neck with sharpened sword

11. And the two sons of Ummah I have taken both
And it is feared you are the third with the black hair

12. Betrayal, deception, treachery and betrayal
And trickery I leave in the land of the corrupter

13. A king who plays with his mother and her kitten
Weak in the joints, his cadaver like a rotten palm trunk

14. At the gate, every seeker asks for his need
But when alone, man is without supporter

15. So when the night has descended around my abode
Then flash in your land whatever appears to you, and thunder

16. O sons of Qalabah, your customs were not
Taking the lowly before the position of the noble

17. Evil deeds will not be erased from your records
Blessed are the misfortunes when driven to the shrine

18. So the slave is your slave, kill through your brother
Like a camel caravan exposing its side to the driver
