1. He bent his arm towards the flashing lightning
As a fire clung to the edges of the horizon

2. And the dawn shone brightly
As she smiled at me with flushed cheeks

3. I stayed up watching him at the edge of my elbow
With a gaze that longed to glance at him

4. And the chaste girls of the tribe almost caught his fire
When it blazed among the glowing embers

5. And my passion is gentle, if not for the recklessness
That makes the rational lose composure

6. When lightning flashed as the breeze blew
I was burdened with memories of the black-eyed one

7. In the flashes of lightning, her smile
And for the wind, the scent of her flowing hair

8. There is a house on top of a hill in its shade
Playful curtains fluttering in the breeze

9. The doves tie its lofty pillars
To a land where birds take refuge

10. And they walk slowly, gracefully
Swaying with the undulating sand dunes

11. And the cheeks shine radiantly
When she smiles with parted lips

12. And the melody of the shepherd revives his camels
With a stick guiding them, moist with the night's dew

13. Our cave and the dawn dropped its veil
On every summit of the two plateaus

14. Dearer to us than rest and sleep
On flowers that delight the gazing eyes

15. By God, the views of the red valley and a voice
One evening as she passed by the sanctuary

16. Surrounded by the young and virtuous
Heading to the perfect, towering camels

17. They leaned between the ears of white-footed camels
Echoing among the houses of Dubayb and Auja

18. Never before have I seen lions under armor
Nor a doe amidst the turbulence

19. She appeared to us like the sun, its orb guarded
By revolving towers concealed by barricades

20. My eyes have never been lined while we are apart
Better than the day of farewell, however solemn

21. And the recklessness of youth and passion raged
Sparks erupting from a fervent heart

22. As if my heart is amidst the intestines of a villain
Called by the brave warrior, fearing and trembling

23. He competes with the seasons of spring
Clashing with its raging winds

24. And the people of Musayyab trace his lineage
To every honorable and glorious forefather

25. In him, the traits of Wuhayb and Ja'far are known
Characteristics to be proud of, undoubtedly

26. Magnanimity when winter hurls its spears
And misfortune strikes you from every side

27. A piercing stab that drags the lofty spear
As it flickers through the blood-stained garment

28. A determined search as if his glancing
Incites one with smooth cheeks

29. You deserve the charm of the two cheeks that have inclined
The noble Hawazin in their swirling fray

30. They charge into battle while the people waver between
Being called by Al-Amri and startled by Al-Musrij

31. When the Qaysi grabs a spear, its sharp edge shatters
Against the chest of Al-Kami in shining armor

32. Oh how many glorious days of clashing
And slain foes strewn by the victorious blades

33. You left the corpses of the Bani Wail
Sprinkled at Al-Nashash, in every valley

34. And the pitted Qanani grave lies ruined
With wind that did not blow on the Mudhij dwellings

35. And every young and valiant tribesman, when resolved
Does not heed the screams of Al-Muhajjahj

36. You ignite a ferocious soul for battle
Whenever you provoke the barren war, it bears fruit

37. Had you been with us at the Jun battle, Shurayh
Would not have blocked, nor would the songs of Hunduj

38. You sealed the Abadi route at the heights
Instead of Al-Khafaji, the short man with the turban

39. And hopes always lead to you
Every path comes to you with people's hopes

40. And Nidwa brought me to you, as if above it
A terrifying creature with flapping wings

41. And were it not for you, I would not wander
The darkness and desolation with a journey that pains

42. And you have people who incite our disdain
So inflict the pregnant she-camels with Mukhdrij

43. The one with mange is cauterized when his affliction persists
And every resolute brother, when ripe, bears fruit
