1. O remnants of the dwellings, how many tears
My eyes shed when the rider passes by the ruins

2. O sand dunes, how much yearning I have
When I recall my beloved from the sand

3. O does of the tribe, the day you endured
Being hamstrung and Allah destroyed your lineage of camels

4. O young gazelles of fright, they strode gracefully at dawn
Long has he who you glance at with doe eyes been gone

5. O bana tree of the valley, weep in passion
Is the life of the loved one or what quenched you from the flooding better

6. The memories of you dance in the courtyard
And they raced between the fox and the slipper
