1. When you travel in haste, travel with companions,
And beware of malice, beware as of a pit.

2. In the party of the blind are choking, deceit,
Dry twigs, and working with the sling of casting.

3. All of them are evil, though at their head
Are Humayda and al-Meyla, nurse of hidden evil.

4. Whenever you are at Bujayla, listen,
For it has a shore that points to destruction.

5. Whenever they decide to kill a visitor
They call each other with barking and with whistling.
