1. Screaming in the meadows of Najd and its valleys
What is your call? So depart from its valleys

2. My homelands where clouds pass by weeping
Do the clouds weep for their meadows?

3. Populated with the passion of lovers
Yet devoid of its people

4. Passion ruled my heart leading it
Towards the routes in the night, following its ways

5. They are the beloved except for the lovers, so never
Can the enemies of passion be but those who love it

6. Maidens with chastity we approached so what is
The farthest and nearest that we wish to be near to

7. I sacrifice the beauty of a gazelle whose eyelids injure me
Oh gazelle, so woe to my blood from my wishes

8. No, by God, their glances are more deadly than
A slain man’s craving for battle he persists in

9. A slave whose feelings and eyes are captivated
How excellent the tears that flow from her suffering

10. My patience mixed tears with the blood I bled
When she shed blood from my passion for her

11. Among them is a beauty likened to the moon
A face whose youth's down began to appear

12. She noticed a spy so when dawn broke
Reproach stood between us for her doubt

13. She appeared in two colors, the sun's orb color
And its color when it begins to disappear

14. Sick eyelids and sleepy eyes from my illness
Her sickness and my emaciation from passion for her

15. She shows you a fruit from her affection so her mouth
Holds a pearl as if a necklace in her elegance

16. We were not healed by her presence’s perfume
As we were harmed by her absence and separation

17. Longing persisted, the beloved's affection was good
The atmosphere was heavy with grief that tired me

18. Her estrangement is sweet when I
Take pleasure in gazing at the stars narrating it

19. Oh how long were the nights of separation that deprived
My eyes rest, wandering in their slumber

20. I used to hope to meet her steps
As solace and the soul’s wishes desire her

21. Alas! My heart finds no comfort when it ails
How much has patience been watered with its abyss?

22. Passion inflamed me so it lit the fire in my liver
Its pain resembles fuel when there is none to extinguish it

23. Hatred kindled war against us but it was extinguished
With blood other than its blood, for there is none to put it out

24. Oh long night of wakefulness that I have spent
And seeking the sun with laments but not finding it

25. I observed the position of the stars, reckoning
Them as fixed from my nightly contemplation

26. That bloodshed adorned our abodes and the enmity flowed
Afflicting the lovers in the homelands with misery

27. Were it not for noble goals, a tear would pour forth and no
Heart's zeal would remain in the confusion of passion

28. Their black eyes with swords whitened and what
Is the redness of blood compared to their whiteness?

29. My soul is the ransom for eyelids that allure though
If passion is the origin, it remains the ransom

30. The caller of passion set the lovers ablaze so they awoke
To the intoxication of its sweet cups that intoxicate

31. The arrivals to her find that cup sweet without
Drinking and the sober cupbearer gets drunk from it

32. Oh woe to the people of innocent passion, how much
Beauty and ugly flaws diminish and ruin it

33. The generosity of passion, shards of hearts
Are watered with tears, misfortune reaps its sower

34. I watered the blood of tears with the passion’s generosity, so it irrigated
Wine through her intoxicating cups its bearer shares

35. Tomorrow the hearts of lovers will grieve
With an illness from the sickness of eyes they doctor
