1. Will not a messenger convey to the ignoble son of 'Urwa
The speech of a sincere friend, full of love and intimacy:

2. You were averse when your son begot a daughter with his,
So you punished and imprisoned him for it.

3. Since when have you disdained what your own father deemed trivial,
While you are of despicable origin, lineage, and soul?

4. How could you today abhor from him a trait
That you accepted in yourself yesterday?
