1. My daughter asks, where, where is the departure?
And separation from me is not strange to her.

2. I said, "Leave me be, for I am a man
Who wants to see Al-Najashi in Ja'far.

3. That I may lament to him about a worry
Which I harbor, a weakness of the vulnerable.

4. And my turning away from Hashim
Is with what I made public, in private and openly.

5. And about the shame of Lat's pilgrims in his saying,
'Had Lat not approved, we'd have had no rain.'

6. I disparage Quraysh to him
Even if he's like red gold."
