1. And true young men without rancor between them
When they became destitute, they did not cling to recrimination

2. I walked with them until their riding beasts grew weary
And until you could see them above the dust of a valiant assailant

3. And indeed I fear that they will say, he is abandoning us
With what will the people say, the companions of Hatem

4. Either the soul will attain its greatest concern
Or I give you good tidings of a disheveled despoiler
