1. When I found morals of nobility
In the world just vain words

2. And saw that oaths and covenants
Were not the most faithful in purpose

3. I freed myself from the shackles
Of superiority in custom of honor

4. And caged it among the insolent
In order to be with the tyrants

5. And I called upon the cupbearer to hurry
With the drink, O lad!

6. And pass it around to the regretful ones
Until they become drunk with wine

7. For people see nobleness
Just like villainy in its entirety

8. If piety, O Sheikh, could protect
From being struck by arrows

9. The Sacred House would not have been targeted
When you see this and it grieves you

10. And if the talk of a foolish nation
In the valleys of Mina reached you

11. Then make talk of jurisprudence short
O slave, do not increase blame

12. Truth is more lost than an orphan
At the dinner table of the vile

13. So start your day with fasting
And end your night with prayers

14. And go and leave me to illuminate myself
With the light of the dancing darkness

15. These are the tents of Hibar so love
The campsite and tents

16. Dark-skinned with two blue eyes
At the stature of a lad

17. No glance of hers rises except
With passion and infatuation

18. She sang and her voice responding
Reminded me of doves cooing

19. And she swayed and diverted my mind
With the bend of her posture

20. O daughter, she whose walk
Straightened out when she swayed

21. If not for bread and your family's poverty
And your need for food

22. Would you have accepted life
Thus and in this position?

23. O morsel of bread which
Tormented people with its need

24. And humbled the dignified with its request
And loosened the resolve of the steadfast!

25. Spit on a humanity
That handed over the likes of you in servitude

26. You were disgraced but did not preserve
For others the insignificant things of life

27. You are the subject of life
And deserve respect
