1. Tell the young man Nasr Abu al-Fath
That the warrior attacked with a headbutt

2. And I saw him retreat from it, then go
Forward and turn back to the spear

3. And I see misfortune helping him
So look out for yourself and accept my advice

4. And I found that when you counted for him
What indicates the expensiveness of wheat

5. And the descent of a matter I dare not utter
Even if it would profit me

6. And when you see the full moon in eclipse
Destiny descended with the most intense eclipse

7. O Lord of the rising of the evening, it came
Unlike the risings of dawn

8. And the Lord of a barge that darkened in the evening
At dawn emerged damp

9. Crying over one who honored her
A wail between mourning women's laments
