1. Those are the sand dunes, guarded by Ghayran
Below them are oryx and wild cows grazing

2. They passed by the right sand hill so a lion blocked their way
Gazelles try to avoid its glances, fawns

3. A doe wanders from the valley of Ughaylimah
Lightning struck them with the roar of thunder

4. Eyes glance at them quickly in surprise
Among the watchtowers and the horsemen

5. They took shelter behind sand dunes
Where the lost camel rubs its muzzle

6. The army stands ready to fight with its regiments
With its divisions distinguished on the desolate hills

7. In the sand dunes, every singing girl
Quenches her thirst while her waist yearns

8. The memories make me tremble with joy
Like the breeze shaking the branches of a Nashwan tree

9. How often have I visited it with the sword of my determination
While the star in the western horizon wanders

10. The Bedouins have tents around the sanctuary
I visited them while passionate and gray-haired

11. A Qurashi man spotted them in his sight
Wandering, shaking his shoulders, a Adnani

12. I fell in love with her while she was scared
Like a snake creeping in the sand

13. Fear left her as she felt comfortable with him
The slit of his sirbal is clearer than Shayhan

14. He drew his sword from its sheath to embrace her
As branches entwine with other branches

15. The stars tell the story of the Romans' eyes
Like eyelids for the blacks, blue

16. O sister of the man who carries the spears, followed
To his battles by eagles and hawks

17. You ignored my anger and tempted my imagination about us
So I cannot find it unless it is angry

18. It comes to me but I cannot enjoy its visit
As your eyes have not lost sleep, awake

19. It is only a phantom that heals by seeing it
The one who is lovesick and toothless on purpose

20. O may God bring misery to a people whose neighbor
Is wretched, where shame dwelled, and Hamdan

21. Scattered at the back of the enclosures, they have
In every spot misfortune and homelessness

22. Their neighbor is not safe from them in peace
Nor do their equals fear them in war

23. I left them and whenever they look at me
There is a look full of grudges and hatred

24. Inside me there is a heart that adversities cannot shake
In fighting off days of misery and sadness

25. I face troubles and I have a soul that escorts me
In my anger, panicking whenever neighbors come

26. Every day I intend tears that eyes shed
Until the disappearing stars that Kairan hides

27. So the west is the abode of my tribe who are
My clan while we have brothers in the east

28. I smell the wind coming from their homes
Weakly as if the breeze smells like sweet basil

29. O may God water the plateau of Iraq, so its life
Can drink from its rains, wetting Qura and Ghitan

30. Thundering Muzn, when lightning shakes its pillars
The thunder in its two valleys rises high

31. It throws its flames while heavy rain pours down
Until fires and waters meet in it

32. I have known through it a people I befriended
As souls and bodies intermingled
