من مبلغٌ فِتيانَ قَومي رِسالَةً

فلا تهلِكوا فَقراً على عِرقِ ناهِق

I am a messenger to the young men of my people

Do not perish in poverty on the back of an exhausted she-camel

فإنَّ بهِ صَيداً غزيراً وهجمَةً

طِوال الهَوادي بائناتِ المَرَافِق

For with it is plentiful game and an onslaught

Tall are the valleys with distant views

نجائِبَ عيديٍّ يكون بُغاؤُهُ

دعاءً وقد جاوزنَ عُرضَ الشَقائِقِ

The raids of ‘Eid will be their desire

As they have gone beyond the breadth of the anemones
