1. I complain to God of the intention on the day my camel saddle creaked,
Scattering desires are its people in different directions.

2. One day in Bahluli's fortress I stayed in its shade,
Wiping tears that overflowed in their setting.

3. One day at Mount Tabarak I was sure of what
The self fears, so its youth flared up.

4. One day in the ruins of Al-Akhbaryn, we were struck
By bad luck - the hyenas and wolves of Al-Akhbaryn.

5. One day at Al-Hudayyah water, my companion said to me
"Comfort yourself - how can I comfort it?"

6. One day at Muttalib I found lingering
Heat - the heart has long been kindling it.

7. One day his birds at Al-Muhallaq water
Disturbed a self - what misfortune befell it!

8. One day by a date palm trunk returning
With your spirit the sighs of Najd's healer.

9. One day near the Sacred House, your soul renewed
For you distress - over what corrupts it.

10. O people of Najd, you were miserable and your mounts
Were rightly guided, their sins expired.

11. When you came to the people of Najd and bared
The swords that extended their bending.

12. Give them my regards, let them recite a greeting
Special for my people's youth and elders.

13. The greeting of one yearning to see them
And ransom my people's honor with his soul.
