1. O rider coming from Thahmad,
How did you leave the camels and sheep,

2. And how did you abandon at Qa’nab,
Where you see the sleep and shelter?

3. Abu Khalid came from the desert,
And did not cease to yearn in Egypt,

4. Abu Khalid knows nothing for fire,
Except its name among people as names.

5. When he calls upon a friend enthusiastically,
And follows the call enthusiastically with a call,

6. If you were a delicious fruit,
You would be the ripest for your sweetness.

7. Do not pass my throat to my inside,
Until you feel the water below it.
