1. How much you feigned ignorance with the tribes and the banner
The matter is clearer than fire on a banner

2. And how much you ask about Salwa and its governor
And about Zarud and the people of peaceful Salm

3. You kept asking about Najd while you were in it
And about Tuhama - this is the act of one accused

4. In Al-Hayy, ask someone alive other than Layli
Ask her as your question is nonsense

5. Speak of it as you wish, for she is pleased
With both silence and speech alike
