When the night had cast its shadows over the land, and the darkness was at its peak, the camel, in its extreme thirst and exhaustion, found itself in a state of distress. The camel driver, seeing the camel's suffering, offered it various kinds of fodder, hoping to alleviate its hardship. The camel, however, seemed to feel that its ordeal had been prolonged. It was said that the camel would carry its load on its back, which was considered the best way, as carrying it on its hump was less ideal. The camel driver then asked, "Why do you carry it on your back?" I replied, "Because the hump is the chest, and the back is the best place for it." He then said, "I have given you the best of what I have." I said to him, "Is it not the long night that has made you so?" He replied, "The long night has indeed made me so." The poet said, "The meaning of his saying, 'the long night,' is that the night has been prolonged for him." He also said, "I want to see you clearly, without any darkness obscuring you." The poet then said, "And the rain, when it falls, makes the white things appear whiter." He also said, "The best of what I have is like the night, which is long and dark." The poet said, "What is it about your night that is so?" He replied, "The camel driver said, 'The night has been prolonged for me.'"
