1. The daughter of conscience remains in the shadow of blessing
When she walked atop a lofty palace

2. The morning breeze brings her scent every night
And dreams gather us in every bed

3. We offer ourselves as sacrifices and the blazing hearth kindles us
With a pull towards the burning trap

4. Take vengeance, O mother of Amr whose blood was shed
So the deed of the intentional killer will suffice you

5. And they will not exceed what they have reached with a rider
Of frequent journeys coming and going

6. So she remained at the edges of the wastelands searching
For her rendezvous and got used to every fugitive

7. With pieces of wood from the end of night she turned
And sought by it a night without appointment

8. Conveying the expanse of wilderness, covering herself
Riding a fast steed fleeing the horror

9. So she passed a night as an angry gale
Piercing the darkness going to al-Khadid

10. And my friend said, "You have fallen into what you see
And have given an excuse in wrongdoing so head straight

11. So Hattem threw spears at the beasts flocking
Between al-Buhayr screaming aloud

12. So I said to him, "You have not fulfilled what you intended
And have not come with captives taken at spearpoint

13. So he returned dragging his robe in the morning
To Burqah of al-Kharja from early next day

14. By my life, her abode has become clear and her grave manifest
A dear woman who is neither lost nor distant

15. When she sits in a gathering among the people of a village
While my family is between exterior facades and ruins

16. And I come to you, and I will certainly return
Without satisfaction from you, I have not been provisioned

17. If one day we part from you, and I meet him
I hope to meet you again in greater bliss

18. But if the soul despairs or passion ceases
Despair of you, not with endurance

19. And every friend who saw me says
"For your sake this lovesick one raves today or tomorrow"
