1. He watered the days of Ramah, rather he watered it
The deep well is an energetic digger of its pebbles

2. I think it's like the fat of lambs is in it
The bucket of gallantry for whoever drew from it

3. It caresses the holey waterskin until
It accompanies it to wipe its hands on it

4. If its clouds are visited, it changes
The youth of Najd, dissolving its nakedness

5. Its water flows and the valley of Ushayy runs
So it frolics over the suppressor of its drought

6. As if its sky has bowed so it poured
Upon the orphaned earth its heavy downpour

7. When its lightning bolts shine like swords
To sheathe them, it retreats and is collected

8. And my soul commands following the lightning
So if my eye followed it, it prevented it

9. And I have not seen before it a red or green
Whose consequences I have not considered

10. It reminds me, and for yearning is an Eid
The folds of Umm Sa’dah, or her wrapper

11. By God, the day of Ukaz, an eye
Majestic, if it saw it, it would melt its marrow

12. You see time playing seriously with the house
So it plays or becomes serious with it and its crying

13. And how much blossom of the loving sister and from a heart
Captive, if it spoke, it would say "Oh!"

14. And from a doubter, if I listened to him
The bottles of grapes would melt from its clarity

15. The perfume of morning passes gently
Its plaits and the musk that scented it

16. If it does not find faults in it
Its coquetries make excuses, blaming it

17. Misguidance confused its intelligence so it was confused
Like Umm Khishf seeking its youth

18. It inclines to the travelers an inclination of saddlebags
Secretly happy to me, making me understand its love

19. So I sin in its mysteries and flirtations
And who can make the ear chaste if it gaped?

20. Neighbors of yearning, the family of Layl
Came seeking guidance through your ways

21. And when you were the day we parted
The expiration of his soul, you were its purpose

22. I want to uncover its affliction but you
And even if its healer is who tested it

23. I was wakeful and a friend slept
From making my eye happy, though he shared its disdain

24. I pull him from happiness by force
And who can control intimacy and dislike?

25. And before you I have bound my hand to a master
To heal it though he took it and moved it away

26. He shot my back and said, stop your step
So the arrows came to me but I do not see them

27. When I greet him I close my palm
Upon a hand whose fingers extended in greeting

28. And a flashing smile that imagines in the virgins
Upon the sights, from my face, its cheerfulness

29. If it rained upon a land it did not make green
It danced though it did not fertilize its pasture

30. The trace of misfortunes grew in my heart
So it transgressed my endurance until it destroyed me

31. Time threw away my grey hair for a while
But when accompanying it became boring, it threw it away

32. And it was a night hiding my faults
So the morning disclosed me to its seeker

33. If the experienced reflects on his years
And their ups and downs, he will be certain of its end

34. A person's life is breaths that pass
And counted numbers that cease

35. I see the days as a day and the destinies
Borrowed robes, solutions to its problems

36. And the youth of a dark night who daringly entered
Its darkness with me, so I was the knight of its secret

37. I allowed them at my peril with a soul
That complies with the first to call it

38. They threw their suspicions - who is their brother?
Upon the smooth rock but they did not purify it but it

39. And the disheveled one whose gown I spread out
And the paths and road I covered for him

40. When the traveling was considered a disgrace to a house
And I said its descent degrades it

41. And whoever the highlands were inaccessible to
And disciplined himself patiently did without it

42. I swear by it, bellowing in its vastness
Clamor or equal in its elevation

43. Making the sun sink deeply
Like the heart of water if its echo fell in it

44. The pebbles and the dark night clamor
The birds' warble in the early waters

45. The grass hoped for a day after day
But it had no pasture but its company

46. Shores like armor, cloaked
And they are like arrows over its hunter

47. Upon them is every vow if they saw it
Descending in Mecca or its purpose

48. The clouds did get tired behind
The hands of Bani 'Abdul Rahim but did not help it

49. A generous family whose building
Its dignity supported and protected its sanctuary

50. Superiority emerged in its nights
Of suckling, and they mastered its youth

51. For them it gave birth so it begot superiorities
Sons from them, and from them it found its father

52. Free birds, masters of places
If the counting of genealogies denied it

53. You would think them cubs, good-natured
If they uncovered the veils and foreheads

54. Sons of years, if it declined, its villages
Decayed, they fattened, its villages fertile

55. For them is a fire on the edge of watchtowers
May God delight the eye of whoever saw it

56. If the abundant firewood falls short of it
Before dawn the kindler places its logs in it

57. It illuminates as if in the darkness of night
Increasing from their foreheads its flames

58. A youth from them keeps its burning company at night
So if he settles by it, he seeks its warmth

59. Staying awake, diverting sleep from his eyelids
His soul looking, hoping for a guest to come to it

60. When the coal heap is made fat by spring
And it narrowed between ribs that bear it

61. And it started overlooking prosperity equally
As if the plaster of a Roman built it

62. He saw the guests are more worthy to shame
Its generosity and demolish its structure

63. So he got up and fed the Indian falcon
Its lower sections to feed them its heights

64. And it did not appeal to him that its loved ones sighed
And its shepherd was anguished, crying out

65. So they became war spoils the guests picked off
Bringing close a piece of it they desired

66. If he feared scarcity regarding it
He stalled, hastily gulping it down

67. And he stayed happy in himself if he attacked it
Rich in money but he impoverished its wealth

68. Its veins grew in the house of Chosroes
Until unknown, hidden places collected it

69. You see its chastity washed from them
Products of what its cooking pots dripped

70. And you reckon them, when they witness slander
With their tongues, desecrating its sanctity

71. They protected the rights of the highlands, we are not
With words and swords that parried them

72. And every young man that pursues my needs
The arsenal of wolves tracking prey for me

73. If the mouths of enemies are torn open for him
Humbling, though their faces were rocks

74. And how many fault finders exposing it to blame
Shot for Umm Al-Nujum but did not fear it

75. And he intended its terraces so he fell, accursed,
By it his devil, and its arrows saved him

76. He challenged himself regarding it so he tired
Against it so it repelled his foolishness

77. So your foot - Rub onto the heels behind me
For if it just misses them, it is their footsteps

78. And what is my crime if my spear straightens?
If you were the naked, sought shelter

79. Deaf ears from ignorance like a Qurashi
So they counted pebbles, babbling in its pits

80. Your reward is guaranteed from me, travels
Upon the mouths, delighted with its narrator

81. If a jealous ear crept up listening
They turned away sullen, though the face smiled

82. And how many exposer to blame it
Threw for Umm Al-Nujum but did not fear it

83. And intended its terraces, so he fell disgraced
By it his devil, and its arrows saved him

84. He challenged himself regarding it, so his self failed
Against it, so it repelled his foolishness

85. So your foot, hurry behind my tracks
For if you just miss them, it is their footsteps

86. And my spear is not crooked, though the curves straightened
If you were the bare, sought its shelter

87. Deaf ears from the ignorance of a Qurashi
So they counted pebbles, mumbling in its pits

88. I became known through you, though my soul complains
When you gave it what satisfies it

89. Apart from you is the reward, travels
Upon the mouths, delighted with its narrator

90. If a jealous ear creeps up, listening
They recoil, though if pebbles line their face

91. And how many fault finder exposing it to blame
Threw for Umm Al-Nujum but did not fear it

92. And he intended its terraces but fell disgraced
By it his devil, and its arrows saved him

93. He challenged himself regarding it so his soul failed
Against it, so it repelled his foolishness

94. So may your foot hurry behind my tracks
For if you barely miss them, it's their footsteps

95. The new moons do not cease with you protecting
Its essence, and its sides are protected

96. The celebrations and each Eid pass
With your blessings, so whoever draws near profits

97. The blessing of glory roars among you
And casts its staff between your backs

98. You deflected from me the days, purely white
Its claws futile, teeth broken

99. And your praise made me needless of men
I see your names alerted its nicknames

100. The vile kingdom, if the fields of sustenance returned to it
Would not wet its lips

101. I am known through you, and how my soul complains
When you gave it what satisfies it

102. Apart from you is the guaranteed reward of travels
Upon the mouths, delighted with its narrator

103. If a jealous ear creeps up listening
They recoil, even if the face smiles

104. Not missing your virtues, if I wanted
Except the envious, I ransom it to ransom them

105. So the heights did not stop with you protecting
Its essence, and its sides are protected

106. The celebrations and each Eid pass
With your blessings, so whoever nears profits
