يا راكب الوجناءَ فاقَ ذميلُها

طلقَ الذَّميلِ ومُسْتمرَّ العاسلِ

O rider of the camel litter, her litter outpaced her camel

Set the camel free and keep the constantly moving she-camel

ألِفَ اللُّغوبَ فلا مُعرَّس غيرُ ما

عَذَم السَّنامَ ورحلِ ميْسٍ مائل

He has gotten used to being led, so none shall be led except what

Branded the hump and packed the baggage of Mays water skin

هجر الخِداع فما أطَّبي عَزماتهِ

شَطُّ الفراتِ ولا جزيرةُ بابلِ

Abandon deceit, for I do not find his resolutions good

The Euphrates river nor the island of Babylon

أحْطط بكرخ الزَّاب رحلك انها

بأبي المُهنَّد خيرُ منْزلِ نازلِ

Surround Kerakh Castle with your camel litter, it is

By my father Al-Muhannad, a better lodging place for lodgers

تجد النَّوالَ أعَمَّ من صوب الحيا

والبأسَ أمضى من ظُبىً وعواسلِ

You will find hospitality more widespread than the direction of life

And courage more intense than a hyena and lions
