1. My life! You have certainly displayed confusion as though
You had allied yourself to al-Fadl ibn Marwan arrogantly

2. And I was not afraid that if I were in a position of authority
Over you Abu al-‘Abbas you would change

3. To preserve the oil wells, you acted generously
So what would it be if it were musk and ambergris?

4. Leave arrogance and pursue humility, for
It is ugly for the governor of the oil to be arrogant
