1. I have not seen a caravan as persistent as fate
Continuing migration with hardship

2. Farther than any distant and unwelcoming place
Leaving one morning at dawn

3. Secretly and not from a noble one
With young, prideful necks

4. Like the night, or fox, or she-camel
Led by a western guide

5. Like partisans glance at their leader
Holding to the command of the south wind

6. Violating the course of events
To curb the difficult era

7. Erasing receiving the cornerstone of sins
When they appeared to the earth from nearby

8. They longed for its downpour
Like the longing of a sick man for the doctor

9. And the lover's passion for the beloved
And the writer’s joy in a colleague

10. And truthful clouds gathered
So thunder rose up like an orator

11. And the wind moaned the moan of the prophet
And the veiled sun in eyebrows knitted

12. It had darkened without setting
And the earth in its gray dress

13. In flowering plants lush and fragrant
After the flames and tribute were spent

14. Like an old man after years and cares
Youth was replaced by aging

15. How much strangeness has it eased!
How many comet tails it opened!

16. And it conquered the conquered land
And relieved a suffering people

17. And calmed the southern dissidents
And satisfied a generous people

18. Who keep the rain clouds' promise
Sweet saliva with brief showers

19. As if they arouse ardor in hearts
