1. O lightning rising over the open desert
A quarter where my heart melts and ribs bend

2. Leaning over a flame from the land
Patience with me refuses when I see it

3. Except the fire of longing is the stuffing of my innards
No longing but to light up longing

4. Kindling in the early dawn and nightfall
O you who ask about a goodly land, it is

5. A land where my passions have camped
Urging mounts to its lovely quarter

6. And insisting on nightfall and darkening
Convey greetings to those far off saddened

7. And announce between the tents my call
And when you reach Al-Aqeeq ask it

8. About the healing of my ills and relief of my troubles
Oh would that I know if my anguish cools down

9. And the blaze of my love, would that water cool it
And when I call out beside the fever

10. And the soul cured of gloominess
The nearby house and meadow of their union

11. Has blossomed its flowers in loyalty
The quarter in Teebah is fragrant so descend

12. And bring it water without sprinkling
These are the dwellings of Ahmed so stop by them

13. Spend a night by them with travel by night
Thanks, so kiss and tread its route for

14. Its cheeks have been dyed by its footsteps in blood
For kissing it is too little since

15. In its steps is protection from harms
Why not, and the perfumed grave has soil

16. That delivered its joints to my joints
O goodly land and distant dwellings

17. Quenched by rain and woe to every rain cloud
The morning breeze of health blew upon you

18. Sweetened by the meadow's singing
