1. When obstacles block my path
I uncover their facts by observing

2. Even if suspicions flash in imagination's eye
Blind, impervious to sight's illumination

3. Cloaked in affairs' unknowns
I place upon them sound thinking

4. With me, a deaf old camel, worn out
I let it loose among the daughters of the caravan route

5. A tongue like the chatter of Arhabi
Or like the famed Yemeni sword

6. And a heart - when worries interrogate it
I water it with the most delicate dew

7. I'm not helpless in hoping
I ask this one and that one "what's new?"

8. Rather I'm a young explorer
I elucidate what's past and what's obscure
