1. My tears changed to suppression
The day they set out with their luggage

2. She turned away for a while when she felt
The intention - she turned away from ignoring

3. Her weeping was suppressed by determinations
My composure and worry were forced upon me

4. She looked, so I turned from her to the most
Beautiful darkness I saw in her radiance

5. The day the sick glance and eyelid departed
Her tears were not from illness

6. Better than what I saw withdrawing
From misfortunes and ignoring

7. A stranger emulating the strangeness of Qais
Ibn Zuhair and Al-Harith ibn Mudar

8. Two setbacks almost made me stumble and fall
Fearing they would break my resolve

9. Whoever abandoned homes woke up
In shreds of life not luxurious rags

10. And the gallant whom the nights exhausted
Like the molting serpent's skin

11. Two prayers: wherever his enemies settled
Speaking of his resolute determination

12. Each day in the passing of nights
He has a blow like the violent warrior's

13. And unto Ahmed I destroyed the handicaps of incapacity
With the cheeks of spears in ruins

14. As if, when I arrived to him, I released
My need from suppression

15. He settled in the house, when counted, among the generous
And in high enduring positions

16. A group who became fortresses of glory
And shields of reputations and honors

17. Through you, strife returned minus efforts
And arrows found their targets

18. And the tribes' spears awoke
When they were dormant in the scabbards

19. The generous deeds returned in force and
The pretenders were introduced among them

20. How much darkness about loftiness was illuminated
By you, and generous deeds are your meadows

21. What sane person intends to wrong you
When the dew itself prevents injustice?

22. How many meanings I suggested in you
Became properties of gardens

23. With faces that are ruins over time
Yet their prices are meadows

24. After you were liberal with the renowned
I don't care who among them recoiled

25. You are for me a fortress from time
If it was disturbed by doubt or distress

26. I did not tie the tent ropes in the
Encampment of nomads until I filled the meadows

27. You are too resolute to bar the spear
If you renew the charge

28. And when glory was my aid against
A person, I took its payment by not asking payment
