1. Ikrima, if you sing, you will find me a mourner,
So do not sing sweetly in the late evenings, Ikrima.

2. With poetry that stirred in the times of ignorance those people,
And was pleasing along with the upright orthodox Islam.

3. In Islam every innovator has raged,
And another corrupted has become euphoric.

4. My advice to you is sincere; I do not cheat you
With deceit, but I advise you with honor.

5. When you areware of the falcon someday, so beware
Of the brother of mankind for days, even if he is forbidden.

6. The misguided one makes for you a fatal necklace
Of blood that hides your fervor that is accumulating.

7. And how many like you have his hands lead astray in the morn
Their youth, when they did not see fate as broken down.

8. And it lived safely by the might of your wing,
So rising above the plumage became forbidden.

9. And the destiny may soon determine for a youth
That will ply a thread that binding you is obligatory.

10. As the sultan has chained the pact of a crime
To take vengeance from it or to fine the fined.

11. So visit and spend the night in every desolate place,
Otherwise, settle behind that frustrated.

12. Where you will meet the needy companion
And the rainwater fresh and green.

13. And adorn yourself with a belt, if you can attain it
Then before it waste your life that is passing away.
