1. The cord of affection between us has not been cut
Whether the envious are pleased with us or angry

2. So if a slanderer slanders or is slandered
Woe to the slanderer who slanders!

3. Affection is firmly established with me as it is with you
It leads you with an argument that cannot be refuted

4. With it you were satisfied, so you were called the satisfied one
With it you were content, so you were called the content one

5. I swear by the shooting star of religion and mankind
That I do not see it flashing without your face

6. And my heart has never expanded with comfort
Except with dew, and has never been embraced except by sorrow

7. I have an affection for you that increases your well-being
Without it is the pain of blame that harms

8. You sent me a lovely companion who delighted me
With her ornamented and embroidered flowers

9. You showed me traces of your palm in the dew
O pride of one who relates it, compose and train it!

10. And the boy has obeyed you between
The matters of glory and the wisdom of the wise
