1. Say to 'Abdun, where is that shyness now?
The vice of the licentious is shamelessness.

2. Long have you been virtuous and chaste to me,
Guarded like a cloak is guarded.

3. Yet now you deny me though I've done no wrong,
So I and the blessed one are equal.

4. The admonishers told me, and their words
Rebuked whoever was negligent in praise.

5. They spoke truly in dispraise - reputations rise
With the vilification of an oppressive rabble, so I have no dispraise.
