1. Is it from a pact of the one with whom there was a pact that tears overflow
As if the motes in my eyes were from love of falfel

2. If the jinn see Salma they befriend her
And if the monk of the mountain sees Salma he descends

3. Of the white she did not go far nor walk
On the ground except the step of a saddled trained horse

4. When she walked she did not hasten and was gentle
As the neigh of horses, pure and unshod

5. As the excellence of the excellent over the back of a fleeing refuge
She circled around a stallion in a long tether

6. She has the color of the full moon on a pitch black night
And the fragrance of musk in subdued soft leather

7. What! Were Qain and the son of Qain angry that I blamed
The wastefulness of Sa'd's quarters for waste

8. I have tasted the bitterness of Eyyash's bow
And kindled my fire, so come closer to me and light it

9. I will remember what Hutya said, your neighbor
And create a brand over the brand of the fired clay

10. Eyyash, cursing does not benefit you after I
Gave you poison to drink in the bitterness of oak apples

11. Eyyash, Qufeyra has entrusted her progeny
To the house of disgrace which has no change

12. She makes the stallions infertile and Qufeyra
Did not know the crime of cross-pollinating cloves

13. If you call for help against Zubraqan we are
The sons of Qain's daughter possessors of might and club

14. Prepare the ropes for betrayal, I am resolved
When the battle was inflamed to bear my burdens

15. And do not, my two sons, seek to precede Qufeyra
Every axe and sword brandishing its blade

16. As Qain intended against us in the days of Sowar
But met with wings of hastened doves

17. The ape chewed when exhaustion afflicted him and complained
The sons of Qain against us have the bite and anklet bells

18. Perhaps you hope, son of the blower of Kirah
For steeds whose canines have not been blunted

19. Are the four sacred months equal to the days of Khayl and her horses
When we were outcasts in war, deposed

20. Do you not ask the rearers in the evening
With the tribe whose leg cannot be hidden by the mantles

21. Who prevented the captives, you did not prevent them
And the chieftains of the fettered eminent leader

22. And on which day were our swords not unleashed
That we plant them into the skulls of tyrants

23. He substituted among a group of nine like him
A father, evil, with two sandals or unshod

24. So I did not blame myself in a discourse nor wish
Nor blame what the people did at first
