1. Abu Dhubai'ah, do not hastily judge
Your cousin's son, but think of him with kindness

2. Will you leave the children of whores and my absence
Imprison me from them, though I do not speak

3. I leave what is most gentle in my condition
For what is most beautiful in the keeper's eyes

4. Those who accuse the blind before them
And alight with evil in a house of stay

5. Don't you know that I am perfect and that
If I do not find one lagging, I will lead

6. Either you will see me and my clothes not
Of silk or linen weave
