1. O Abu al-Fadl, O noble in purity
Why do you say that you are aloof?

2. Fawz wrote in the book, then said
Reproaching yet gentling him too

3. We did not weary you when you wearied
You, O love, are wont to turn away

4. Thus the weary one among all the people
Is quick to come and quick to go

5. By God, Fawz did not weary, nor was
I to any folk but you genuine

6. O you sleeping around me, congratulations
My side is far from my bed aloof
