1. O my night that I did not sleep longing and wakefulness
Until I saw the whiteness of dawn return

2. I exclaimed when I saw the dawn bursting forth
Animating the succession of youth or nearly so

3. And winds from the lofty abodes provoke me
And she does not know the causes of love and its fervor

4. I concealed from her some of what I suffer and said to her
I cannot control the causes of love submissively

5. Days that my love envies and envies me
What I cannot attain, women who were envious

6. Then that passed except the memory of our playground
In the house when we avoided the eyes and observations

7. Nothing of longing remained for me from her entirety and her neighbor
Except concerns that the night alternates troops

8. She had made a promise to me but broke it to me
And I was neither stingy nor did I break an appointment

9. Oh woe to her, a union whose appointments were
Like the night, dreams deceived the slumbering

10. I wished her spirit until I wearied
And love healed me, nearly and from afar

11. O you who seek frivolity, passing by and accosting
Come, you have fallen into love if you were a frequenter

12. If piercing from the front and from behind pleases you
Then come to Ibn Saymin, the one with two heads, well-aimed

13. Whoever gives him a dirham will marry his lover
While the copulator in the lord of the house's abode is a frequenter

14. Indeed, Ibn Nihya is of his father's character
He does not deprive a guest of a wedding feast if he has provision

15. He hunted Bakr and Ya'four for his women
After the dual, yes, far from what he hunted!

16. I know Hammad and his betrayal
When meeting, if he devised or plotted

17. Difficult when you are soft when you believe him
Of the clan of Nihya, if you shake him, deviant

18. No glory except for Hammad Abu Umar
Who spends the night wakeful and traveling by night, watchful

19. He turned like a stud tied by his tether
Piercing has manifested itself to him, breast and repetition

20. The gazelles hasten to him, every rising sun
The wildcats race to catch the water and repel

21. Prosperity is good for Hammad Abu Umar
When his dawn comes he does not fear an observer

22. He meets relatives prancing on a dappled horse
And does not see lowliness except shook or bent

23. O knight of the cultivated chestnut who runs it
I run so you are the son of a wetnurse who was a pimp

24. Indeed swallows are eaten and digested
So its bird is not seen, meaning if it wanted

25. How many disgraceful moles you have, O Hammad
Inheriting a healer father and ancestors

26. Strange women do not frequent their in-laws
So stab with your spear a cuckold and one born out of wedlock
