1. Convey my message to Al-Safiy, and say to him:
How his purity has changed and become turbid!

2. O you who have turned away, his love and purity
Are not for sale to his patron from that which is bought and sold.

3. How you have busied yourself with one servant over another
Who has committed no sin against your love nor lied.

4. And when will there be deliverance, when you have arrived at springs
From which it is impossible for you to flow forth?

5. If your wedding were to happen, I would wait for her divorce,
Or if it were postponed, I would hope it would be cancelled.
