1. O residents of Aleppo the lofty
Deafen its path towards the clouds

2. I am a stranger in your city
But I'm not one to settle

3. And the Khan tells strangers
When Ibn Sama is bored

4. So I took from the long residence
In it and missed the bottle

5. And I went out one night
Heading to the door of safety

6. And I drank from a well in it
Whoever comes to it soaks his tent

7. And I grazed in its wilderness
And ascended climbing its dunes

8. So I caught sight of in some of the lowlands
And she sat the black protector

9. So I tried, thinking she was
A cow or a nanny goat or a pigeon

10. And lo a hyena as black as coal
Says little like a pillar

11. And lo a Shaykh under it
Of good appearance and division

12. And the Shaykh squeezes underneath
He reached the sweat of his belt

13. So I scolded his shepherd and he
Said to him, do you not see his position?

14. Get up for your sake, let's
Get our reins by your rise

15. And return after separation
From us and make our dispute good

16. So he jumped on him and said no
That was not the case nor honor

17. This rug in particular
Is mine in its rug a mark

18. Had it not been extra for him
He would not have turned his attention to my back

19. And he cried and said to me, go
And ask God for safety

20. And thank him for what was
Your secret, he does not want a lock for it

21. And know that I was one
Of the people of leadership and leadership

22. My day when you pass
It is said this is the son of Abu Asama

23. Until I was tested with my passing
So I became a defamation among the people

24. So I wondered at that clarity while he blah blah'd and the bats
A Shaykh who addresses me

25. With the words of his position
And the hyena drowns in his distraction

26. Disappeared into his towering tent
So the Abyssinian laughed at

27. Him and said do not listen to his talk
This and your living is the habit

28. Of one who reached puberty before him
He always competes with those distracted

29. Towards the clouds of sorrows
And took him from his back

30. As if he were the ostrich's neck
