1. Give the camel a respite, O driver
For every guide of it is tired of leading

2. This is the bend, in it lies the remedy for my youth
If only it flowed in the accustomed manner

3. O the place where the two flags fell, is there an informer
About the dwelling places of Zainab and Saad

4. Their camels walked with stooped necks
As if they grew up in the livers

5. My heart has become infatuated with the poets
Out of love for them in every theater and valley

6. And you have blamed yet not turned away from passion
And you saw my madness in it as guidance

7. And you made the blamer have the honor of my aloofness
From them and for the loved ones the submission of my guidance

8. Maybe calling on the lodestar will bring you closer
To the one suffering who has become sickly with sincere affection

9. Rather, your bestowal, if graced with a visit
Then pour forth what my heart has harvested

10. Either I stay then your love always remains
My fortune, or if I leave then the remembrance of you is my provision

11. And of the wonders is that from my tears
I have become in an ocean while my heart is blocking

12. And when the whiteness of eggs flows as necklaces
Between the branches of the singing canes

13. I would task the gleaming lightning
To smash their shoulders with it and the guide

14. So I walk while glorious travel is my confidant
From them and the pillows are gentle beds

15. For you O beauty of the King, the dew of the breeze
Shook my coat, the basil of the breeze of love and affection

16. So I tore the clothes of darkness off a resolute one
Healed are the roads from that which has a guide in it

17. With an unbending cypress in creation that never
Stopped standing in accusation and readiness to help

18. You made it gently pliant by the mention of you so it sprang up
Like the supple fiber gladdened by the one who frequents it

19. She said and said what she said without the mysteries complaining
Sufficient for me and sufficient for you is the mention of the guide

20. Until when darkness fell and you shone in
Its bundles like the blazing star

21. Our sights turned towards you but rather
Our sights turned towards the outstretcher

22. So I saw in you the boldness of the lion of the jungle
And the life of the resplendent clouds and the full moon of the caller

23. And you spoke with the wondrous eloquence so the orator did not leave
An excellence to clarify with it the eloquence of Iyad

24. And for long you made eloquent in the scattering of enemies
The day of hatred the tongues of scabbards

25. So pride yourself on the honor of virtues you have gained
As inheritance from the fathers and forefathers

26. God gathered in you the dispersed grandeur
And of the wondrous is the gathering of opposites

27. So the scholars pride themselves in you as majesty
I likened it to the humility of the devout

28. And your valor is delighted by the dew and sometimes
They approached by it a towering towering mountain

29. I complain to you of the lack of fortune my poetry has
In publishing and proceeds

30. If not for you the violent would have torn its honor
From me with the tongues of someone intensely hostile

31. Do not let my disregard of its action deceive you
For it has provoked the hiding places of hatreds

32. Shall I perfume the wondrous praise while it bends me
With pus overflowing the hands of helpers?
