1. A new covenant, and a yearning without bound
To the meadows where glory blossoms

2. I'll make pilgrimage to the ruins of those who loved and those who were passionate
And there is no distance between me and the bend

3. Love - the lovers know not what its hands have done
Love is neither misguidance nor righteousness

4. Your heart roams in Najd and its dwellers
God have mercy on who said: Passion is Najd

5. I came carrying scattered fragments
Of poems that fervor has exhausted my patience

6. I complain to Najd of love and infatuation
The free knight is a slave in the law of passion

7. Is this Najd, O my friends, that immortalized
Through time, it has a breast in its heart?

8. So where are its dunes that I was enamored with?
And where is the tent of the passion dove (Da'du)

9. I see, but I see towering minarets
Their necks extending in the cloud's veil

10. Minarets and domes for guidance were erected
Only lightning flashes laugh of thunder

11. The sands have become gardens and resorts
The deserts graceful, their meadows are flowers

12. These are the gardens that clad their turbans
In the blue of clouds, their hair braided by dew

13. What is it to the gardens, and what is it to me, and blame is upon
My heart which relapses to the time of drought

14. Memory of time that passed, and in its hand
A silent sword, sharp for it is its edge

15. A kind of jest the oil era exposes it
And jesting is in the judgment of passion's etiquette, seriousness

16. Let me talk about my day and what
The beauties have done to me, the glances and the cheek

17. The truthful when they threaten me in awe
The liars when the promise nears

18. And about the virtues of this festival, do not
Ask, for how much this assembly was adorned in affection

19. Of the elite of the lofty elite in status
Its guests of the pearls of Adam are a necklace

20. How many poets, their ambitions in the domes of the sun
And scholars, their clothes are sincerity and asceticism

21. In my name and in the name of the honored delegations I thank them
And favor is to God, and bounty, and praise
