1. The serpent's sting melted the steadfast heart
And separation filled the crying soul with desolation

2. The affliction of love struck me the day of parting
Between Iraq and the watering place of the arid land

3. The sword of the glance made me taste ecstasy
Between the tents as I sighed in the watchman

4. The word of Hejaz and the hot embers
And the Lord of the house when its breeze blew from the blower

5. Before the eyelids, war struck me that day
And the fang of a spear for the warrior in the intense moment

6. Pour tomorrow towards the cheeks alongside
So the glances' arrows poisoned in uncertainty

7. O rider, o driver with a heart
Slow down in ignorance, for the illness is slumbering

8. And the serpent's sting filled the desolation with venom
While separation is your watering place, o sturdy body

9. O dweller of the protected place, be gentle with it
Separation has torn the sides of the old man

10. O lightning towards the protected place, chant to them
The serpent's sting melted the steadfast heart
