1. They came in splendor of dress, so they were stripped bare
The gazes of misfortune looked upon the swooping of fate

2. Longing wove from the remnants of pottery a turban
And well-being that mocks the gloomy sufferer

3. The waistband of the robe conveyed me censure
And my loose outer garment betrayed scattered, evident impairment

4. Like brilliances of the pearl necklace pouring forth
At night over the turbulent, swimming gulf

5. And the undulations of the breasts contested its embrace
A banner like the zigzag of the zealous stud

6. You have brought me the glory of position and cared for me
The heart of time and protected the face of my praises

7. To God belongs our abode which is of the kind
To drag spears over the towering adversary
