1. If you harbor any affection for me,
Then let tears flow freely behind the stab.

2. Do not try to seduce me with youthfulness that has led
Me to pleasures, a means and a block.

3. Between me and the sanctuary of loved ones is a covenant of passion
That time has perpetually made me yearn for.

4. My heart yearns for Najd and is stirred
By the breeze of Najd when it blows gently.

5. And I sometimes ask lightning, so it tells me
About them, with that which fills my heart with burning.

6. O lightning, does the mistress of the moles still remember
After the separation, the covenant and pact we had?

7. And how lonesome are the abodes without Kazima,
All space, without them, seems narrow to the eye.

8. It said, "You were tempted by us wholeheartedly", I said,
"How your passionate lover has tempted you!"

9. Woe to me from the sweet words since she left.
Nothing has appealed to the eye nor any life appealed.

10. O vastness in my heart I will never see
Except nearness to Lamiya has appealed.

11. When the Najdi lightning flickered I sent it
A torrent of tears flowing and pouring.

12. If my heart was in a rock, it would shake it,
Agitated with passion on the day of the curved incline race.

13. May God not let my eyes delight in her beauty,
If after her the morrow's joy has appealed.
