1. Do you recall pride in the Arabian tribes?
Yet you deny a neighbor, though evident and clear.

2. On the day we met, you abandoned it, miserable,
As one burdened with disgrace proceeds vociferously.

3. In the garden of the Sultan collapsed your dwellings—
Torrents in our faith, and open sores.

4. You pastured the remnants of the two valleys, and with interest
Meadows where its vegetation wildly mingles.

5. When raids were waged, your homes crumbled
Wary, no horse was let loose from the cattle-pen.

6. My words seethed in you like the foam of a goatskin,
And boiled over what you detest in hidden thoughts.

7. Their valleys streamed down virginal rhymes upon you,
As they are the disgraces openly exposed.
