1. مُنعَ الشتاءُ من الوصو

    لِ مع الرسولِ الى دِياري

    Winter was held back from arriving

    To keep company with the Messenger in my lands

  2. فأعادَني وعلى اخْتِيا

    ري جاءَ من غيرِ اخْتِياري

    So he brought me back, though not by my choice

    Upon a camel that came without my asking

  3. ولرُبّما وقعَ الحما

    رُ وكان منْ غرَضِ المَكاري

    And sometimes the camel fell

    Though that was not its rider's intent
