1. For whom are the burdens traveling to Falja
Emerging ruggedly, joltingly rugged

2. Bumping into the soft sands with their hands
Yet scarcely finding a path

3. Blackened by the brand of estrangement
Its reddish complexion inflamed their skin

4. Each bearer of this estrangement
Upon which separation built its watchtowers

5. A small home, yet inside it lies a heart
Like your body, fortified with armor

6. For you, behind its barred gates
Where the wind widened its crevices

7. A spear and blade, not what
They called distraction and folly

8. Like eggs not incubated by fate
As if they are bursting bubbles

9. When they despaired of the darkness
They raised to me, looking hopefully

10. And at the vanguard, a lone horseman
Like a wild ass, contrary and intractable

11. I met his camel litter stealthily
As letters merge in script

12. I opened up helplessly, perfuming
Musk and ambergris copiously

13. Had you not been created
For nobility, crevices would not be created

14. And I apologize for leaving one day
While separation wounds

15. If my companion blamed me alone
That would be more bearable

16. With a simpleton, lacking ascent
I scattered her casually, step by step

17. I tasked her with my needs
Frolicking, watching deception more clever

18. I chose a brother carefully
And blended when he desired blending

19. I discarded perfection, loving him
And he intended miscarriage and fraud

20. So listen submissively, then you are
Harsh with me, if given a sigh

21. A companion leaving me, like Jesus's son
Saddened my days and overwhelmed me

22. I discouraged my heart from passion
But the more gently I persuaded, the more impassioned it became

23. I carried it like an incurable disease
Burrowing my ribs forcefully

24. Awaiting this union
To mature it slowly and completely

25. If I gain nearness to him
I have been patient and a shelter

26. Or my lovely days return with him
For we advanced on credit

27. Son of the ministry, you fixed
In his house a rooted pillar

28. His people wore out
Its garments, so we inherited a path

29. They travel on its
Camels, not feeling a saddle

30. After them, things proceeded
With a party, so we walked lamely

31. From the family of Masarjis, the honored blacks
Feared and hoped for

32. Continuously glorified
Zealously clinging to it

33. Blocking the atmosphere with their domes
And cleaving the earth forcefully

34. The master of rhetoric, an eloquent speaker
Each word he utters rents

35. With palms outstretched and fingers grasping the paper tightly
His chest like a spear thrusted forth

36. And his heels blades and armor
This one pours what he writes, blood

37. The other repels forcefully
Benevolence possessed his hands pouring

38. Upon the weak abundant grace
Tempted by the weights of favors, he saw them not as debt and burden

39. Your affection made lawful to me
Graying its temples with branches of arar

40. It captivated me with qualities
Eyes that are like you captivated me

41. So visiting you, they came early
Neither wastefully nor stingily

42. A flower like the fixed stars
Curly-haired girls shuffle gracefully

43. Distinguished by you, for you are
The goal they seek

44. When the excluded ones recited poetry
They presented it scattered and composed

45. And none other heard it, so their hearing
Was saddened from where it was impassioned

46. Doubting it with praise
As if dispraising with praise

47. Deceiving him, so harm struck
The sincere, while truth delivered

48. So repeat it, unless a caravan travelled
Or you saw the house sheltered
