Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEBE FGAGDBFB HDIDJKLK| Across the hot sands towards fertile lands | A |
| On our swinging camels we forward fly | B |
| On a heaven of lead on the sands of red | C |
| Shines the sun as it goes on high | B |
| - | |
| O camels go to waters that flow | D |
| Where the green palms wave in the breeze | E |
| Forward forward fly passing swiftly by | B |
| Till we see the waters and trees | E |
| - | |
| Sing sing each step shall bring | F |
| Us nearer to our journey's end | G |
| Across hot sands towards fertile lands | A |
| Till red into green doth blend | G |
| Brothers brothers sing as we go towards waters that flow | D |
| And palms whose branches wave on high | B |
| Camels trotting camels swaying each step bringing | F |
| Us to our haven of rest more nigh | B |
| - | |
| They gleam they gleam 'neath the sun's bright beam | H |
| And the waters like silver glow | D |
| And green branches move in the fronded grove | I |
| With the zephyrs that come and go | D |
| The journey is done our course is run | J |
| And we lie 'neath the grateful shade | K |
| Brothers sleep in slumbers deep | L |
| And dream of some faithful Arab maid | K |
