يا أَثلُ لا غِيَراً أُعطى وَلا قوداً

عَلامَ أَو فيمَ إِسرافاً هَرَقتُ دَمي

O palm tree, I give no gift nor firewood

Why or for what have I wasted my blood?

إِلّا تُريحي عَلَينا الحَقَّ طائِعَةً

دونَ القضاةِ فَقاضِينا إِلى حَكَمِ

Except to obey the truth willingly before judges

So our judge is to the decree

صادَتكَ يَومَ المَلا مِن مَثعَرٍ عرضاً

وَقَد تُلاقي المَنايا مَطلَعَ الأَكَمِ

Your righteousness on the day of ordeal was presented from Masar

And deaths meet the rise of sorrows

بِمُقلَتَي ظَبيَةٍ أَدماءَ خاذِلَةٍ

وَجيدُها يَتَراعي ناضرَ السَلَمِ

With the eyelids of a gazelle, the blood of a cowardly betrayer

And its cheek anticipates the ripening dates

ما أَنجَزَت لَكَ مَوعوداً فَتَشكُرها

وَلا أَنالَتكَ مِنها برَّةَ القَسَمِ

You have not fulfilled any promise for it to thank you

Nor has it obtained from you an oath of loyalty
