1. Do not bend when the brother of longing bends
I, oh leaf, am the lowest to bend for you

2. And you sing on the twigs of the camel thorn
Leave the wailing to the melancholy miserable one

3. I wish my days with the living Na’man would return
Going back though what I wish is impossible

4. They descended upon al-Ghadha so my ribs
Bent from the pressing of longing for a girl

5. In that neighborhood who rises in the intoxication of youth
Twisting from the rapture of early manhood

6. Her potent beauty entranced the fair knights
And the brown winds, striking and stabbing

7. Where is Mutamm, whenever he yearned
For her, sighing with passion and moaning

8. The nights cast him, confused, so he became
Lonely in thought and twisted in grief

9. Leaving his lands spreading out
For the riders, easy and grieved

10. Humanity and jinn have elegized me
Since I aggrieved humanity and jinn

11. Fate cast the tray of betrayal to catch
The glorious in every twisted valley

12. Seeking to humiliate and diminish their glory
Yet fate seeks not from us the impossible

13. We are the sons of Hashim, most generous of men
Not stingy with wealth nor sparing in virtues
