1. To whom does that old ruin cling with its chains,
Like tattoos on the backs of camels

2. The morning breeze made it shiver, as though
It was scattering its dust with sieves

3. And the torrent had dragged its tail over it, as if
When it twists on the shore, a violent sea crashes

4. I stood at it until dawn rose over me
Questioning it, though nothing is revealed to the questioner

5. When I saw my passion was foolishness
And my tears preoccupied me from my path

6. I turned away, and despair was fitting for me
When I recognize firmness without a reuniter

7. With the uniqueness of the singled out camel, obedient to its master,
The anchoring places are red from the special camels

8. It undulated on soft ground, as though it was
A polished sword from which the scabbard had been removed

9. So it was taken by surprise by the darkness of a heavy downpour
The downpour of leaves is like the falling darkness

10. Yet it did not stop and continue on, while the pursuers
The fleeing horses did not abandon the chase

11. It turned, though its weapon had fatigued it
By God, an evil-doer who does not fight

12. With brown skin, solid hooves
Doubtful legs, fierce and untiring

13. Nothing appeared from struggle or the effort of the competing racers
Fear of continuing what you see in the first place

14. His determination and fighting rescued him
When you support him, he does not fail you

15. It raced like an ostrich in the evening
Fleeing with smooth flesh, no wounds

16. Is it that or a wild donkey attack
Circling around delicate and gentle leaves

17. The help chose them when it shielded
As the horses of the noble army wielding spears

18. When its mouth touched them, to equalize them
As if it were an ostrich chick

19. They lined up in rows, guided to its correctness
As arrows guide to the aim of the archer

20.
It climbed to the top of the hill, a high place

21. Thus obtaining for the master of beauty, a few
With it, they were concealed until when the heat touched it

22. Or the love of travel, or what was in the saddlebags ran out
And there remained only a drop in a waterskin

23. Taken away forcefully by the armies
So the passions of love were aroused with sorrow

24. True, gentle bodies, thirsty joints
And doubtful thoughts placed it in a chance

25. A spot of drinking between awe and exhaustion
The stars of fortune appeared in its homes

26. Bursting in its domination over the streams
It has an abundant, deep well, and the bowls are cheap

27. Its springs have not been reached by axes
They drip cool, pure fresh water

28. Healing for the thirsty and the weeping eyes
The water vessel docked upon it when

29. It saw the sun had gone as far as it could reach
And they produced a brilliant, constant flow

30. And undulated with necks like camels’ humps
And it followed the lower part of its flow with the like of it

31. And was aroused with intense, abundant exertion
And attached the garment to the chest of its throat

32. Sticking like glue to the curved wood of the bucket
They avoided its expenditure, as if it were

33. A watchful guardian, not failing in its duty
Why does the one who fears my bravery avoid me

34. Wherever I intend, keeping away from me
My preservation has come near and grayness split my hair

35. And I left my mind to burdensome matters
I used to be white like beads

36. Growing up in comfort, always active
High-breasted and riding a quick steed

37. I sent its herd to the elevated plateau
The cool of misery and comfort protects it

38. The keeper of the land who has no weakness in resolve
When it sensed the slightest sound, it was as if

39. A cough, and the Jinn above the rest
And a tribe of affection whose affection I rejected

40. And tested them in effort, my giving and attaining
If only I had overcome fate, had I been able

41. And attained some right and some wrong
And I saw fate – if you defy it, it does not sleep

42. And if you are negligent, you find it not negligent
When it perishes a gap, the like of it is increased

43. Increasing on that example, like the lengthening
So who can feel safe from days after Ibn Hurmuz
