When I was a timid boy of ten year old,
climbed up on a camel's back, so bold.

sitting high on the black animal so week
my mind traveled along the straight track.

where I was born with very much delight
Once, Ras Al Khimah was a small emirate !

Playing, now and then, here there with camel
moving on the road, I too loved the animal.

Crossing  the wild  desert so long and wide
nothing, but sand dunes on my either side.

I saw a beautiful landscape, which  made to stop
opened my eyes, I saw a mirage,at the hill's top.

A young falcon flew away in front of me
I stopped my long desert journey to see.

Night came and the ride ended all too soon
I could see darkness around in half moon.

I thanked the camel for giving me a nice ride
I still sat on the animals back on the road side.

Back to me own small village, sadly I retreat
where, nature gave me a pleasant treat.
