| Who loves Allah and believes ' | B |
| Thus heard one who shared the tent | C |
| In the far off Orient | C |
| Of the Bedouin ben Ahrzz | A |
| Nobler never loved the stars | A |
| Through the palm leaves nigh the dim | D |
| Dawn his courser neighed to him | D |
| - | |
| He said 'Let the sands be swarmed | E |
| With such thieves as I and thou | F |
| Shalt at morning rise unharmed | G |
| Light as eyelash to the brow | F |
| Of thy camel amber eyed | H |
| Ever munching either side | H |
| Striding still with nestled knees | A |
| Through the midnight's oases ' | - |

| 'Who can rob thee an thou hast | I |
| More than this that thou hast cast | I |
| At my feet this dust of gold | J |

| 'Can the dusky band I lead | L |
| Rob thee of thy daily need | M |
| Of a whiter soul or steal | N |
| What thy lordly prayers reveal | N |
| Who could be enriched of thee | O |
| By such hoard of poverty | O |
| As thy niggard hand pretends | A |
| To dole me thy worst of friends | A |
| Therefore shouldst thou pause to bless | A |
| One indeed who blesses thee | O |
| Robbing thee I dispossess | A |
| But myself Pray thou for me ' | - |
| - | |
| He shall sleep unscathed of thieves | A |
| Who loves Allah and believes | A |
