1. A perilous journey I had undertaken
Across a wasteland of awe and tribulation

2. With a lively, striding, nimble she-camel
A feral, desert-bred beast

3. At dawn, as soon as the sun would rise
She would set out seeking to please me

4. O faithful companion, do right by us, do not cross
Your soul beyond what you can endure

5. Until you bring us to a sovereign
Whom God has crowned with reverence

6. Upon his head, two crowns above his temples
A crown of majesty, a crown of devotion

7. He says to the wind, whenever it blows tempestuous:
"Do you have it in you, O wind, to compete with me?"

8. Who can compare to one whose uncle is the Messenger and whose
Maternal uncles are the most honorable of allies?
