1. Do the Bani Hamdan fear my inclination towards them,
When their dreams have faded on the day they were estranged?

2. Not everyone who wrongs me fears me,
So do not, O fear, make them go every path.

3. And I pardon many sins,
If I chose what the hand of the sinner extended to.

4. The Bani Hamdan committed every crime,
Against me, yet I was neither angry nor complained.

5. And my serenity almost uttered my thoughts,
Whenever my honor was, before it, to the blamer.

6. Meeting and visiting became doubtful to it,
So I treated my love with remoteness and avoidance.

7. And I gave it hope for the passage of time and its harm,
And my patience with its events and fluctuations.

8. They waged war and fate bared its claws,
But grey hairs were not defeated by undefeated.
