1. Mu'awiya, I barely come to you growing weak
With my camel, the backs of the heroes grow tired
١. مُعاوِيَ لَمْ أَكدْ آتيكَ تَهْوي
بِرَحْلي رادَةُ الأصْلابِ نابُ
2. The saddle rubs into the back happily when it sees it
If the crow has laid its saddlecloth
٢. قَرِيحُ الظَّهْرِ يَفْرَحُ أَنْ يَراها
إذا وَضَعَتْ وِلّيتَها الغُرابُ
3. It roams the earth towards you without tiring
If the mirage has clothed the dune for it
٣. تَجُوبُ الأرضَ نَحْوَكَ ما تَأَنَّى
إذا ما الأُكْمُ قَنَّعَها السَّرابُ
4. You were the one hoped for and in you she called out
To revive her if the clouds were stingy
٤. وكُنْتَ المُرْتَجى وبِكَ اسْتَغاثَتْ
لتُنْعِشَها إذا بَخُلَ السَّحابُ
