1. I blamed the singing girls for hating men,
And scolded the youth for blaming the reproachers.

2. I showed them the merit in joining
The elderly with evidence.

3. I approached my companion who
Glanced at me with a squinting eye.

4. I reminded her of the old covenant
Regarding the favors and kind acts.

5. She said: Your friendship started
When your turban was not yet a veil.

6. And you impersonated the rose during
The first days of its arrival.

7. The rose is made for nostrils
And envious and hateful ones.

8. And when it fades and wilts,
It is discarded in the trash.
