1. A river flowing as tears flowed
And a downpour whose trails are sluggish

2. And the wafting of a breeze in an open meadow
Where the breeze roams freely

3. I flirted with it while the poppies are smiling
And the myrtle is a cheek and the violet a mole

4. And behind the fluttering spears are warriors
Whose shadows move behind the darkness

5. He threw his staff where pebbles make him stumble
A river playing with the branches aimlessly

6. As if there is a struggle between the branches
And a dispute between the waters

7. And a pasture where the cattle graze is chilled
A waist sweeping smoothly and a meadow blossoming

8. Between the streams of two brooks as if
A right hand and a left are outstretched from them

9. Like beads in its winding a gazelle
Prancing where the pasture's teats abound

10. And its second cloak flows as if it were
Retreating or advancing hosts over there

11. Or the shadow of a dark oak framed
With winds folding its sides and tops

12. I could not tell if it sways coquettishly
Or its pleats were just fluttering casually

13. For when it stretches in its slimness, it is a palm tree
And when it sways gently, it is a crescent moon

14. Over it is a speckled gibbah
With its sister, one of matching hems

15. Torn asunder in times of turmoil
From the garb of a harmonious companion

16. He threw his coat of mail over there
A hero who stripped himself bare and valiant

17. In his hand a slashing whip
And on his night of clinking, anklets

18. So I ventured forth led by warriors over there
Vicious to him with fierce cubs

19. At ease, neither doubting from alarm, nor
Suspicious of nature, nor scheming treachery

20. Daydreaming, I walk the wide plain and beneath it
A sidr tree, most beloved and lost

21. So a piercing gaze threatened me
With it the wolves are provoked in the darkness

22. And it pounced like a torrential, frothing he-goat
Pelting some of the hills with pebbles

23. Bleating loudly ahead of it and perhaps
Leaving the dune behind pouring forth

24. So I warded off the valiant beast's attack with a green spear
In its slender straightness, it is an example of courage

25. The pool froze in its expanse and maybe
A ram with surging waters would quench your thirst

26. And I brought together the eminent and him
So the like and the like came together

27. And they wrestled as Abu Ishaq and the champion met
One day

28. Both of them black and decorated
Within them are destinations and terms
