1. For your life, if I were to live in a supportive home
Sa'd would not have wronged me, he being a neighbor to my verses,

2. But I have woken up in an alien house
Wherein the wolf counts, counting against my ewes.

3. So O Sa'd, be not fooled by yourself, and move on,
For you are among a people, dead to the neighbor.

4. And beneath you my supporters - for I am to them
A departure, they will not miss my intentions.

5. And travel toward a crime, if crimes are supporters,
And be not distracted among them, between forgetful women,

6. If they do not rise for me, avenging,
And confirm their stabbing in every raid.

7. So I do not blame their messenger, or close their poverty,
Or cease, in life, their worst reversals.
