1. Bakarat reproaches me amidst what is lawful
Foolishly, daughter of Thuwayr son of Hilal

2. Bakarat reproaches me because she saw
My camels as prey for drinking and grazing

3. Do not blame me, for I am accustomed
To all that my right and left hands contain

4. If I gain wealth I am not overjoyed
And if I squander it, I do not care

5. Wealth comes and goes so do not despair
Roll the bridal gift to the lively lawful one

6. And my soul's surrender on the day of battle
And my being driven beyond my bridal gift and my descent

7. And my rising with a well-armed Khamis
Towards my enemies, with my weapons and my departure
