1. Blame me less, O mother of Bawza'a
And do not grieve for what has hurt me

2. So do not rebuke me, I do not see time as blaming
When a day has passed, blame cannot retrieve it

3. But I see the young man is prone to mishaps
And meets death ascending and descending

4. And piety is the best provision, and indeed
A young man's share of his money is what he has enjoyed

5. So I advise you, if I leave you, O mother of Aamir
And some advice in places that benefit

6. Do not marry, if time separates us
With a frown on his face and expression, not easily softened

7. Of the people with two faces, whose belly has expanded
But his patience, when tested, does not expand

8. Sleeping except when his canine presses
He saddled the abdomens of the evenings out of covetousness

9. Brandishing his beard over the bones of his cheeks
When people were dejected at the doer's begging

10. Nor a short man among men contending
If he walks or says a word, he struts

11. And be for the best and most glorious man
When the riffraff think the prominent have given freely

12. With determination, dignity, and zeal
And patience if time has bitten and hurt

13. And another when a visitor comes to your house
Like your time together that was like all time

14. I will recall from myself many traits
And ancient glory that has long been lofty

15. So I have not seen anyone like me enduring his remedies
Nor cutting the vein for years and being deceived

16. And I was not one who sowed evil amongst them
And when evil intensified, I did not show humility

17. I saw the envious one who schemes against me
When he saw me with downcast eyes show humility
