1. The ruins whose traces faded away
After me, while their ornaments changed into heaps of dust,

2. And after the loved ones changed with their dwellers
Becoming a pasture for foxes that graze and walk around.

3. From every new misfortune you see for it
A shoulder like the mound of sand and abundant good.

4. Leave this and have you seen our she-camels
That brought their young ones while still embryonic.

5. They brought every weak and suffering she-camel
Resembling their humps like graves.

6. They flirt without ever getting bored of every heedless one
Filling him with their conversation and pleasure.

7. O house that decay has made decay
And after you the winds blew over it becoming desolate

8. The soil covered its palm trees, so it became inhabited
By their balconies and walked slowly.

9. O land of good news, if decay has harmed you
I knew you inhabited and populated.

10. After their successors, it is as if
The carpets were laid out between them.

11. If after long connection, your rope is touched
By people, and your house becomes deserted,

12. It showed me, while the new one is to decay
For a time, with your connection, content and happy.

13. Arguing with my money with you, I do not seek
Anything but you as solace and company.

14. You were my wish and dearer than the pebbles
To me and with that I was to you worthy.
