1. She glanced at him, leaving no heart for him,
Unaware of what she had taken away.

2. I've seen no slain, no killer,
With a weapon like hers when she intended.

3. Unless you evade her or she perishes,
I see no suitor of hers but the polished sword.

4. As if the lofty swords in the lands,
When night bares their necks, were her suitors.

5. Palanquins between Al-Awja and Dair,
Dragging their fringes, blown by the bracing wind.

6. Seekers of needs in a painful caravan,
Traversing ruggedly in the pitch-black night.

7. Neither have the days nor the years left
What their headbands have climbed and erected.

8. For us and the livestock, orphans lead them
To the shade of a pot she lit when kindling.

9. A brother of mischief who raises fire for the villages
When the wicked dog is silent and extinguishes it.

10. You inherited the son of Harb and the son of Marwan and the one
With whom Allah gave victory to the Prophet Muhammad.

11. The beasts shy away when they recognize you,
Bowing to you atop the dunes.

12. The goodness of your palms refused their abundance,
And your bestowal of kindness to be firm.

13. To spare blood or wealth from a gift
That would revive a depression and bring victory.

14. Had the prophets of restraint accompanied him,
They would have found him with the Great King of Darkness.
