1. Are you a channel that curses aloud?
Are you not a guide for youth and old age?

2. Are you not the heir of refined literature?
Are you not the beacon of the barren land!?

3. Do those who insult you roam freely
And are heard from afar without kinsmen!

4. I say to it, isn't it enough of a burden
Should I not warn you of the strange wonder!?

5. You have provoked the docile wolves
And have been emboldened by the appalling wound

6. You are rid of transgressions even if they meet
To block off the turns of my path for me

7. The transgressions of "Al-Rafidain" so they shook
With them crawled the reptiles of the strange land

8. More generous than the mocking of crawling reptiles
Is the mocking of a night laden with perfume

9. Rid of transgressions without might
Except the kisses of the lover upon her lover

10. It blocks him on a day of comfort
To deliver him to a woeful day

11. To deliver him to despicable tidings
And a reprehensible and dubious evildoer

12. To pages that cast with no conscience
Except what is tucked away in pockets

13. Aspiring talents for charlatans
And directing virtues towards faults

14. Rid of the transgressions of the great confusion
That leaves behind it the terrifying sudden death

15. My blood is permitted to them like a wolf's
And no lion permits his blood to a wolf

16. If only the ransom were a resolute hero
Giraffes that graze on the meadows

17. And the question remains unanswered
While heads remain on their shoulders

18. Will my vanguard of sixty thousand arise
To pounce on those afar for those near!?

19. It seizes what I forge for it while standing
It screams to the echo of the golden letter

20. And a child is tasked to wipe it away for me
As "Christ" wiped on the crucifix

21. And I am discarded in the wilderness without an ally
Noble, literate or knowledgeable

22. Oh you who has armies in the millions
That battle for the beloved land

23. Will it defend you from an epic and harm
By ribs folding over hearts!?

24. Oh what a stranger in it
And what misery in the strange land!
