And when the white camels reached the foot of Mufarrah,
When we reached the slope of Eesa in joy
and revealed the fierce love they had held at bay,
And revealed what we had concealed of intense love

and the radiance of the beloved's dwelling shone, and onward sped
And the residence of the beloved appeared, hastening
the white camels bearing us, to bring the beloved near the caravan,
Eesa to bring the beloved closer to the caravan
فَرَشْتُI spread لَهَاfor them خَدّيmy cheek وِطَاءًas bedding علىon الثرىthe earth

وَأغْنَيْتُهَا بِالدمع عَنْ وَاكِفِ السُّحْبِ
I spread my cheek for them as bedding on the earth,
I laid my cheek as a rug on the ground for her
and with my tears spared them the need for the clouds' falling rain.
And with tears I quenched her thirst instead of rainclouds
وَلَمْand did not أعْطِI give إلاexcept كُلَّall مَاthat which مَلَكَتْpossessed يَدِيmy hand

وَرْوحِي لِحَادِيهَا المُبَشِّرِ بِالْقُرْبِ
And I gave nothing but all that my hand possessed,
I gave nothing but all that my hand possessed
and my soul, to their camel-driver who brought glad tidings of nearness.
And my soul to her harbinger of proximity
وَمَزَّقْتُand I tore apart قَلْبِيmy heart لِلْوُفُودِfor the visitors كَرَامَةًas a token of honor

وَقُلْتُ لِهَذَا اليوم صُنْتُكَ يَا قَلْبِي
And I tore my heart apart in honor of the visitors,
I tore my heart to pieces for the guests in generosity
and said, 'For this day I kept you safe, O my heart.'
And I said to this day - I protected you, O my heart!
