1. He doubted what I complained of the length of my night
When he saw me in the morning dragging my tail

2. Staying up while slumber is the easiest thing I know
Of it what was with Suhail

3. My war with it when it turns favorable is welcome
Not cowardice even if it turns away then woe to me

4. With moderation no inclination in it but
Perhaps its rule leaned every inclination

5. And tomorrow time will slight me in it
Oh Awf bin Amer bin Uqail

6. For a disaster from events that does not
Heal it except the slashing of horses with horses

7. Or dew from the hands of the father of the army that cannot
Be counted by weight nor encompassed by measure

8. So it is departing with the departing wildly
And it is perishing from every valley with flood

9. So sham has become difficult for us
A countryside of generosity flowing with the Nile of Nile
