1. The stream springs from its source
As does arrogance and greatness from it

2. As does the sword brandished
Be the sword long or short

3. And I am the one mentioned among its youth
For good deeds if deeds are mentioned

4. I know the truth so I don't deny it
And my dogs are companions, not biters

5. You won't see my dog except being friendly
Even if a night prowler comes unnoticed at night

6. Many people came but they don't reject
A sword seeking good and free

7. Do you know the house or are ignorant of it
Between Tabarak and Fashshay Abqur

8. The torrents dragged their hems towards it
And the valleys' paths led to it at dawn

9. Quarrelling over it until it leveled
In the heated summer months with bursting springs

10. You see ruins of it that have faded
Like the script line in the revelation of scripture

11. We see the white within like the red
Time did not betray them, dreadful

12. Frolicking in the slumber of forenoon
Restrained by shyness and guarded chastity

13. Plucked steps of gait, nearby paces
Bodies like laden clouds low and heavy

14. They visit each other like partridges
And sweet life they enjoy, not bitter

15. They don't obey an accusing rebel
Who almost died from the intensity of blame

16. And the heart that was infatuated with
An image more beautiful than the wine's redness
