1. The dwellings of Mudhiya have become tranquil
As if their people had decided to depart

2. So I passed the night distressed, my tears overflowing
As the bonds of companionship came undone

3. They began to wander, searching
For new homes, wandering far afield

4. Due to the ill opinion of a man
Whose distrust had sown discord among us

5. Time passed and was transformed by fate
Bringing mornings and evenings in succession

6. My blood was shed and so my companion asked
Does the land know whose blood has flowed?

7. In the ruins there is rest, and an eye
That steals glances furtively by its light

8. Like lanterns, its embers glow
But do not fear their flames

9. And Mudhiya surpasses all in beauty
With a face that excels in radiance and grace

10. She is a slender-waisted gazelle, whose anklets
Complained of sinking and confinement

11. The ruins of Mudhiya have been desolate for years
And mirages have wandered confused among them

12. Time and desolation have conspired against her
I feared her features would go up in flames

13. If the clouds refuse to rain upon her
I will water her traces with my copious tears

14. O you who have sensed a gentle lightning flash
Illuminating the mountains of Rama and Al-Buraaq

15. I was sleepless, while my companions ridiculed me
Stirring my love and tormenting me

16. I was sleepless, inclined toward passionate longing
While the flashes of lightning danced playfully

17. When I remembered him, Mudhiya smiled
If we are to be reunited, let us share an embrace

18. Greetings that my heart rejects because no friend
Has ever been loyal, nor walked a straight path
