1. Ask the scout between the sand dunes, so he makes clear
A few words that annihilate misfortune with sorrow

2. About the caravan in its valleys, did it get devastated
Except for its ostriches on fluttering wings

3. And did the wind tear open its saddlebags such that they did not stop
Flying from the intensity of bouncing around

4. My Arab brother, drive them on, for without driving
There is room for gazelles to roam freely

5. I confided my love, if you accept me as a companion
When you do not support me in shedding tears of grievance

6. She circled around from the skirts of mountains and her abode
Is that of a Hijazi; we are quite different

7. The eyes did not fail to discern its faded outline
In the distance were it not for the numerous mirages

8. My friend, did protection cease after its people left
And did the milestones become vacant after we left

9. Is there any connection between a autumn rain in Aqeeq
And my heart or did I befriend others than my own

10. As for the chicks of birds attacked with the winds
While their chicks were in the unawareness and safety

11. Opportunities were made available to them while time is tightfisted
Impetuous with red camels that blaze

12. The darkness of gloom continues to crawl with its will
When others weaken from flying

13. Until there remained nothing but the impairments of everything torn
As if the effects of a Yemeni sword were upon it

14. When it sees a flock of leaves laughing
It thinks its wings are the heart of heavens

15. It moans in an incomprehensible voice, which
Clarifies the sorrow of the grieved better than any speech

16. More intensely than me when it says you passed me by
You see me despite time - I see you

17. But by its life if it saw me it would magnify
My words that I am suffering from love of you

18. If you wish, try the blades of my firm resolutions
And the truthfulness of lightning is known by pouring rain

19. So ponder in the land a sound thought, for it
Shows you the location of a star without a location

20. And leave me and her be, for if I do not win her
Quickly, then I am not the son of Sinan

21. I desire nothing but what you already know
When they intend a matter, that is more helpful

22. I surpassed and did not reach ten years whole
So how could I when I passed eighteen

23. And I have in confronting misfortunes, firm resolutions
That show you attaining a star by Saturn

24. A group who shared between them the intoxication of wine
Not a moment passed except meeting with sweet wine

25. We asked them while the scout was grieved from the dew
And the wings of night and dawn contending

26. Who is the caravan, they said, from Lu'ayy bin Ghalib
The lamps of my days of attainment and piercing

27. So we said, the sons of the noble uncle Muhammad
The sulfur of hostility, striker of every harasser

28. It delighted them to mention him and they sang
With the ethics of softening the riding animals, passionately

29. They leaned on the valleys intoxicated as if
They bid farewell in ecstasy bidding farewell

30. Among the people are those whose youth is ongoing
For spending gifts or protecting the reins

31. The bravest if you strike him with a sword
The most knowledgeable if you debate him with a tongue

32. The most eloquent above the poles of a minbar
And the kindest above the back of a horse

33. My brother Hashim, how often you made it Hashimi
Jealous are stuffed from its usefulness, the despots

34. You won it confused to the spite of haters
Who scowled with hatred and animosity

35. So if the nights strike you with something terrible
No wonder that the two moons are eclipsed

36. The days did not lead you to a lowly position
Nor made tender other than swords

37. I praise you, not seeking your praise, rather
I profess affection for you without disgrace

38. Affection is not evident in ease; rather
The loyalty of a youth in the affliction of events

39. I wish I could share with you the evil, forgiving
With open arms for harm and gardens

40. And our two hearts became confidantes of misfortunes
As if sympathizing in private, accompanying one another

41. And the likes of you, the nights wanted, for it
Makes the land fertile in the place of seeds

42. And the time of the incapable diminished, so I
Honor myself to say it is my time

43. When relationships distance us, it brings us
A affection for neither people nor procrastinators

44. Indeed the spear point supports its posterior
From afar, not appeased by the flatterer

45. While others in the lowliness and safety of time
Sluggish, so ambitions do not fall for them

46. As for me, since I was created, its circumstances
Standing upon what saddened and enraged me
