1. Among olives and crops,
And water from a spring in jars,

2. And grilled meat and tea in cups,
With gilded letters engraved,

3. And shooting with rifles and joy,
And hunting and spreading in caves,

4. And good friends through time,
We gathered as loyal troops,

5. More precious to me, rather most delicious,
And satisfactory than ceilings' company,

6. Although we had fun yesterday,
And renewed despite unwillingness,

7. And I hope to see on Wednesday,
A lamb with a lamb stuffed,

8. So whoever is happy or Musa,
From the party that intended joy with yearning,

9. Or whoever is key or Awad,
From the eloquent, kind interrogator,

10. Is there a bag that seeks it?
Saying I outweigh with thousands,

11. So one like a thousand completed a thousand,
As the letter K in attacking the ranks,

12. Who among you has the highest purity,
Generous at heart to Al-Husseini thousands?

13. Otherwise, Al-Barouni said I am,
Free to resolve the guests' assignment,

14. Respond, O master of literature, and speak out,
With the right, do not grant asking swords,

15. For man has only succeeded with sword,
Polished, or tongue, or lamb,

16. I present on behalf of that,
Either ransom or pardon from gentleness.
