1. People in Habina saw the adornment of my saddlebags
From fine craft and stitching, new and antique.

2. "Did you find buried treasure or raid by night
Hotheads whose rage boiled, no one to curb it?"

3. I said, "It's neither this nor that, my way
Rather I came from being with Khaled."

4. I pulled his rope on Saturday dawn, pulled hard,
He fell dead amid odes I had composed.

5. So I was blessed by his bounty, pure and plentiful,
Wounds in the hearts of the envious multitudes.

6. It is the star of good fortune when a man's bounty
Makes all others but it seem effaced, no longer radiant.

7. I climbed the heights of earth and poetry praising
Him, so climbed by his power the peaks of praise.

8. He clothed me in the mothers of his lineages noble,
I clothed him in the mothers of my necklaces and jewels.
