1. Help me with a lightning whose flash you show me
It allures when you make clear a right lightning

2. I was sleepless for it while the lightning was without darkness
And of noble origin, oh how far its place from my place

3. Have you not seen that I and the son of Abuadh have become frightened
The land shrinking for us unless we walk carefully

4. Outcasts from two clans who have hardened us
Our fearfulness until our compactness weakened

5. And he has no firmness or help in a matter of resolution
Nor do I regarding my concerns and stratagems

6. And I said to him when the early dawn came to give drink and take drink
And the light of dawn had been a guide to the night

7. By my life, your riding camels have come upon pasturage
If it does not become high upon them, morning will not come
