1. In the name of guineas and weapons
He trades in death to profit from it

2. And curses my watering palms of war
Where he sows his ambition in the sand

3. Whose dunes cradle the stars
With the palms of profiteers like a rag

4. His right overwhelmed by the immorality of his senses
And frozen in his throat a fit of coughing

5. So he bleeds and his wounds become
Handkerchiefs, in the hand of one he has wounded

6. And a lance is appointed for him, Al-Hormuzan
With an Uthman Quran and prayer beads

7. So a shirt of ashes descends upon him
And a cloak of bloody pebbles

8. On his face sediments of sorrows accumulate
And graves with no tombstones float

9. And from behind the mirage grief pursues him
Wearing the guise of joy

10. So he raids a hill charred by fire
And a hill with rising smoke a banner

11. And he assassinates a young girl at dusk
And a hilltop devours him with its blaze

12. And like a chain he sucks the oil of Riyadh
And from its blood he suckles slaughter

13. And he falls wherever money beckons
The ghosts of life weighing on his eyelids

14. Birds with bloody wings
His evenings tire of his captives

15. And his mornings forget to notice him
His only goal is to perpetuate wars

16. And profit from their lucrative markets
As long as blood remains in him

17. It is worth bleeding his pockets
He is generous with his body parts so let them be

18. For Satan or Adam the repairer
And these are his immortal habits

19. He starves and from his flesh he eats
With no money he would bleed so how can it be?

20. When Al-Muizz's treasure is at his disposal
Does he forget his ancient ways as

21. The father of war or its first child
And still each day it gives birth to him

22. Bisous and another it impregnates with him
Where does he go? And the echo replied:

23. To where the journey never ends
And there was a sad lamp there

24. Moaning and a window coughing
So the road listened to a bier

25. Buckling under its burden
And an old woman whose death forgot her said

26. For whom do we mourn and eulogize?
Yesterday Yahya threw his brother Sa'id

27. And felled my nephew, my brother Muqbil
His neighbor replied: If you could see

28. Our barricades capitulating
Dates swarming the mountains, mountains

29. And trenches swallowing trenches
And walls crumbling on their shadows

30. And battlements shaking the stronghold
And a bride on her wedding morning said

31. He left before the litter cooled
One day they said he was in Hurayb

32. Another the shocking news arrived
And a boy cried: Tell me of my father!

33. And wept until the household sobbed
And bitter spring came and went

34. A spring burdened with tragedies returned
The horizon was lost and the friend of winds

35. Circles... and from his face asks
A gale takes him and brings him around

36. Another gale turns him
Is it not time, O wind, for you to calm

37. And you, rider of the wind, to tire
And where do you see the shore, O Barash,

38. And breezes of morning?
O end of the road: where is our meeting?

39. And drought, I beg you to be fertile
And dream, will you miraculously appear

40. Turning pebbles to amber in your steps?
With a palm defeating the fangs of gales

41. And with a palm erasing the gullets of calamity
Planting in the wolf the gentleness of sheep

42. And bestowing the rabbit some power
Will he come? And waiting masses

43. Prepare a cradle and playground for him
And sunrises search for his footsteps

44. And sunsets dig for a glimpse of him
And like it began, a cloud

45. Bedecks its pages with fine robes
And empties its udders in the sands

46. Plummeting trying to drink
And Sana'a awaits miracles

47. And dreams of the chosen miracles
And like summer a new waiting expands

48. On the horizon, stretching and wide
And from each house a longing peered

49. Observing its mighty one, the conqueror
And choosing the sweetest names for him

50. And selecting the most wondrous title
And creates him a knight mounted

51. On a crescent moon and clad in a planet
He will shine for the Pleiades must sleep

52. And the weeping must rejoice
For bullets live as long as all else

53. And if prolonged, still come to leave
And the sky may moon after darkening

54. And the fool shine brighter than the brilliant
