1. My friend, I am blamed though I am not at fault,
Perhaps it will tame your anger,

2. A letter came from you, I did not see its face,
I wish I knew if I missed your mail.

3. You blame me unjustly, do not do so,
Seek excuse for me, do not attack me,

4. You judged without excusing, such judgment
Only serves your own waiting.

5. You blamed without excusing, and claim I am
Your close loyal friend, then abandoned me.

6. I seek pure affection and the path
You made piety and justice its motto.

7.
You broke my heart with blame, though it is

8. Your earthly abode, so you destroyed your home.

9. O you whose blame is rebellion unjustly placed,
Come back to the one you made partner.

10. You ignited my flint with blame, so here it is
A result of your thinking, you lit its fire.

11. It now shows aspects of its coldness
And equally rewards detachment with detachment.

12. Had I been just I would have willingly surrendered,
So you take revenge on me by your judgment.

13. For you have close love, steady its building,
And you have superiority none will share.

14. And you have with me many a poem before this
Which I showed, exalting my ability through your power.

15. They rallied around me, in pairs and alone,
And raised high on the pillars of glories your minarets.

16. Gardens that please the heart and eye with delight,
If the two bosom friends were roused from their resting place

17. For a day of wager, they would not stir your dust.
Be certain, and do not hasten against one you love,

18. The like of you most deserves consent and reconsideration.
My pledge is protected, and it suffices me to keep it,

19. The testimony of the Lord of the Worlds, Blessed is He.
Gardens that please the heart and eye with delight,

20. If the two bosom friends were roused from their resting place
For a day of wager, they would not stir your dust.

21. Be certain, and do not hasten against one you love,
The like of you most deserves consent and reconsideration.

22. My pledge is protected, and it suffices me to keep it,
The testimony of the Lord of the Worlds, Blessed is He.
