1. The phantom of Alawah does not cease to come to me
Pouring towards me from afar and intoxicating me

2. May the greeting of God be bestowed and peace be upon
Your visiting apparition, which revives me here

3. When you are near, your separation distances me
And when you are far, your connection brings me nearer

4. Time has become harsh, neither union gives me hope
Nor despair consoles me of what is with you

5. And I am not surprised by the disobedience of your heart towards me
Intentionally, when my heart disobeys me because of you

6. By the redness that flushed in the cheeks at dawn
And the languor that fascinated the eyes of the eyes

7. I have deprived the purity of love, betraying it
From me and loaned it to one who does not reward me

8. I give infatuation over degradation and it indebted me
Due to my love for you - I do not give over degradation

9. Why does one who does not know me frighten me
With the people while the people are more deserving to fear me

10. If I have accused a people of wickedness
Then let them speak much about my fault and defame me

11. And I am cleared, to the open-minded, of
Senile thoughts and a tongue not to be trusted

12. And I am not a platformer boasting ignorance
Making it a craft - I have not found wisdom enough for me

13. Although I am intimidated by an enemy
I strike my foe with it in havoc and at once

14. I have in store loyalty to the people of love, concealed
From me, and absence from the brothers, trusted

15. Has the son of Hamdun returned to generosity
I once knew with the son of Hamdun?

16. A brother I thanked for blessing me, a faithful brother
Purified for me and bestowed without fatigue

17. The wicked circulated around him after me and changed him
A company, all of whom plot against me

18. I have come to praise him and he demeans me
And laud him at times and he vilifies me

19. And he returned celebrating wickedness, destroying me
While before he used to build me with benevolence

20. You invite the wicked to insult and belittle me
Evil is affection over praising you - you make me love

21. Where is the affection you used to bestow on me?
Where is the sincerity you used to clarify me with?

22. If it was a sin, then you are the people of forgiveness and if
I did not sin, why does blame prey on me?

23. Oh Bani Zurara what lineage do I envy in you
What is the lowly lineage by the lowly?

24. Those non-Arabs raise you, their beginnings
To the ends and the naked ones among them

25. The pride of the cooks is proverbial, and your pride
Previously cooked the fathers of the cooks

26. I count you my comrades and make you
More worthy of protection than my honor and my faith
