1. Blessed was the ghost of Alwa when it passed by
And freed me from captivity with its visit

2. It visited me as dawn shone in the night
And the morning breeze stirred

3. With palm-branches pointing to the sand dunes
Bewildered, and the eagles in pursuit

4. The lamps were extinguished by the hand of dawn
So the orchard outskirts grew dark and gloomy

5. And drizzle from the clouds sprinkles pearls
Onto its leaves, making them glisten

6. It poured from the sky in a light shower
At times crying, at others laughing

7. The hands of spring adorned it, so it only blooms
White, red, and yellow

8. Gleaming in the gloom like gold pieces
And spreading fragrance in the orchards

9. Over Alwa's secret place lies a home
Eyes can only see from afar

10. Tents were pitched around it and men gathered
Disheveled and covered in dust
