1. A guest visited us, I was delighted by him
I wish that guest had not been in a hurry

2. When he came to us one night in haste
From the eyes of the alluring tavern

3. And he came while he was tattered
With no camels from the tribe left behind

4. O Abu Al-Khattab, do you have
A sincere messenger that can be sent

5. With what I hide and conceal
From all the people, I did not accept

6. So she made me, little by little
Taste the sweetness of her smile that did not wane

7. We reckon the graceful wind by it
And the necklace and chain
