1. I have not seen the like of you, O Imam Khalil
Who has fulfilled our needs and spoken good words

2. Had you willed, my heart would have drunk from a drink
That would leave passions and find no relief

3. With the sweet well water in the evening he takes rest
Staying in the sand dunes, he still finds shade

4. You denied your pact, though you knew
Deserted ruins with twisted branches of Anab trees

5. When the caravans passed by, I thought they were
A settlement in Yathrib, with soft sand and date palms

6. So be resolute if comfort benefits the distressed
For yearning reveals to separation a painful cry

7. The mixed horde has severed the tie between you
Yet by their rope he could still be connected

8. I held back my riding beast at the ship after
Moving from the middle of the mast slowly

9. From every survivor of salvation she undertook
The reward of the wilderness, sighing and blame

10. The dove reminds me of Az-Zubayr
Calling in the gathering of two date palms softly

11. Quraysh said, how disgraced was Mujashe
A neighbor, honoring the slain with the slain

12. If only he knew the betrayal of Mujashe’s family
He would have moved his camel litter and hurried away

13. Oh my anxious soul, as their rope deceives you
Why not take captives as guarantors and travel

14. After abandoning the friend of Muhammad
Do the captives hope to travel with the Prophet?

15. They turned their backs, the tongues, after
Az-Zubayr was a neighbor and newcomer

16. If you were free, O son of Mujashe’s Cain
You would have escorted your guest a mile or two

17. The gift of dew and the gift of spears you deluded
And the gift of the north wind when it blows at night

18. Az-Zubayr was killed while you were his neighbors
Woe to whoever deceived Az-Zubayr for so long

19. If only when you were deceived between our homes
You would have heard the sound of iron clashing

20. Every hidden fighter would have protected you the day of battle
And your enemy's carcass would have been devoured
