1. After Abraham, except for constant yearning and sighing,
None who informed them doubted that grieving over them was forbidden.

2. Tears stain their cheeks, their nights dissolve into hours.
The sins of the sons of an uncle - all are forgivable

3. Except strife sowed among them.
Slanderers flew at the purity of their affection

4. As flies alight on food.
Indeed I granted Abu al-Husayn such affection

5. I would bestow on his enemy in abundance.
A king imagined whatever he wished as though

6. The decree he executes flows from destiny's judgment.
