1. The Yemeni lightning dazzled you
In the pass of the blowing wind, the pass of Al-Qaqazan

2. The light of lightning shines between Salma
And between the plateau from the two mountains of Aban

3. The lights of lightning have become weak
You were close but now you are far from me

4. Don't you see that the knowledge of al-Thurayya
Provokes my sadness for Qazwin

5. My friend, extend your gaze, do you see antelopes for me
In the bends of Awqalan

6. If only the antelopes would describe the monastery of Layla
I hope to meet them sleepy

7. What business do you have with the antelopes
When the guide is satiated and does not judge

8. If only the antelopes were kneaded into something
With the belly of the spotted cow, it would suffice me

9. But the antelopes fled to my misfortune
There the guide got confused

10. With four, your eyes looked when
The echo of Qayan answered behind it

11. Oh, I wish I knew will I see myself
And a loving people harmonizing

12. With the lightning from the lightning of Sa'eed's bend
He wore his loincloth and wore his gown

13. Will I hear from afar the musical sound
Of the jinn or little lambs

14. Oh, who will convey good news about me
Publicly, and blessed is the intimate friend

15. A Yemeni who aspires to great deeds
Prosperity and all honorable Yemeni

16. If I had let the poets dictate,
They would have tied my hands and tongue

17. When I am absent from them they promise me,
And if I oppose them they hate my company

18. And their youth warns them against me
Your kindness, our Lord, O Most Merciful

19. They will all know that I am old
When I release the reins from the bridle

20. Wretched after the slave of the 'Haram' family
And your power is with those whose hands

21. I swore I would make war this year
Baring it like the forehead of a horse

22. Against people who war is far from them
Like the molar striking the molars

23. They refused their misery except my death
And the likes of me, firm and resolute

24. How strange that he shows gratitude when fed
To support them, the narrators of Ibn Dukhan's sons

25. Don't you see the base show gratitude unlike the generous
He stood as the lizards stood still

26. Yashkur and Lu'm allied long ago
As two mountains overlooking the valley allied

27. So they have no leaver except themselves
And no slanderer or slandering
