1. Has Asma's fate befallen in a place unbefitting,
And how then if she comes to Najran do we meet?

2. She roamed every valley without an impeding obstacle,
And the rugged terrains of Karman or perilous precipice.

3. She went beyond considerations until she took shelter,
While I remain stationed at a door without handle or lock.

4. In the folds of the dark night, gloom spread its growth;
And the tradition of a critic in the little garden flourished.

5. I did not see her except making excuses for an hour,
Glancing from an open tent or through an eastern window.

6. Where everyone gathers, detaining with conversation,
And separation was the promised time to disperse.

7. With a face—what is it to me? Her face's radiance,
Whoever faces virgin love one day creates it anew.

8. The months of Hajj displayed of her beautiful traits,
A face whose purity the perfumes reveal when applied.

9. You see me spending the day vainly,
As the whiteness of old age appears on every parting hair.

10. The saliva of youth and its shade have left me,
And I was changed from it to be crushed at last.

11. I have revived the stumbling of a Master, and a bridle
Of generous and brave men in every distressful plight.

12. I have overflowed with a drink of one who pours,
And before me the night of another critic was blamed.

13. And a plunder like the collectivity of locusts I have contained it,
Fluttering with the forelegs of the crouching camels.

14. And a lover I divorced with a single act,
She had qualities like a perforated and ripped mat.

15. She spent the night feeling deprived by people she loves,
Grieving, and had I not stabbed her she would not be divorced.

16. And horses that harbor enmity with no reconciliation between them,
I have witnessed with the clash of their bridled mouths.

17. Long of bone that fears no growth flourished in him,
Safe from 分割 in adversities of compacted structure.

18. Insightful, minimizing the edges of separation
Noble, equaling the highest peaks that are lofty.

19. When his land rains from its clouds,
It flows while he bids farewell and promises honesty.

20. And the stab of the north in his rein,
He sold the intensity of warriors set loose.

21. Of the reserved, he ripped apart the leader,
Preceding to the goals without prior arrangement.

22. It had a steed that would not sell its forehead
For a pedigree whose roots are not twisted.

23. And an observatory from which I frightened its doves,
Its ostrich wandering from it, glittering smoothly.

24. The untamed birds spend the night around its neck,
Like the suspended badge of the Persian horseman.

25. I have ridden while exhausting its plowing mares
On bumpy terrain like cracked mats.

26. They spend the night counting days of old covenants
In hot sands that the mid-day heat melts down.

27. It is as if the claw marks of beasts are its enclosures
For its wedding next to the tattered carpets.

28. A bride of a riding company traveling with luggage
Whose fire, if ignited, does not calm down.

29. So leave this and do you see a flashing light
That illuminates a loved one in radiant traces?

30. It rose above the dunes with rain after rain
For its valleys have been burdened, all are fatigued.

31. It drags on the edges of seas to the harbor
A ship like a suspended ostrich carried on.

32. If you say the winds make it sway, come closer to it,
A ship like a properly arranged ostrich appears.

33. It is as if the leaders and the guides around it
And refugees are goats of the brilliant east.

34. Asking for a cleft that its abundant flowing pus
Claps in its depths all that can clap.

35. So it brought evil and thus the curtain, and it became
Shameful for it and the valleys in lodging.

36. It is as if the fog in the deserts at night
Are men it invited for a musical evening.

37. It has a hump that forcibly drags out the unwilling wolf
To pass in its depth under an abandoned cave.

38. It splits through the deserts and takes cover
Under the soaring chicks of the eagle.
