1. أرى كل ريح سوف تسكن مرة

    وكل سماء لا محالة تقلعُ

    I see that every wind will one day grow still,

    And all rain will inevitably cease.

  2. واني والاضياف في بردة معاً

    اذا ماتَ نصف الشمس والنصف ينزع

    And the guests and I are together in one cloak,

    When half the sun has died and the other half is withdrawing.

  3. طَعامي طعام الضيف والرحل رحله

    ولم يلهني عنه غزال مقنعُ

    My food is the guest's, and my dwelling is his.

    And no veiled gazelle has distracted me from him.

  4. أَحدثه إِن الحَديثَ من القرى

    وَتعرف نفسي انه سوف يهجَعُ

    I converse with him: conversation is indeed part of hospitality,

    And my soul knows that he will fall asleep.
