1. عرج أخي بحمى ليل لتخبرني

    مع بارق عن غراب البين في سعر

    Turn aside, my brother, at night's sanctuary to tell me,

    With a flash of lightning, about the raven of parting amid flames.

  2. فتكت كبدي من بعد حيهم

    ومزقت فزعي من بين ذي حور

    You ravaged my liver through the remoteness of their encampment,

    And you tore apart my fear through separation from a dark-eyed one.

  3. قد معمعت ديكي من هوك ذي حجل

    فالشجو أقلقني والقلب في فخر

    Indeed, you set my rooster clamoring from the bewilderment of one wearing an anklet.

    So grief has troubled me, and the heart is full of pride.
