1. Yet I am assigned by every miser
To bear what I am busy with and denied

2. Stinginess is a disgraceful flaw and defect
Upon its people, while generosity is more lasting and ample

3. I see you do not forget Suad's happiness and memory
So tears well up in your eyes as you lie down

4. You were disturbed, so your love does not cease to grieve you
A departing lover, and one bid farewell

5. Her heart refused but distance and harshness
While your heart's love leaned towards her completely

6. She is not generous to you with kindness
To strengthen the rope of connection, or show good will

7. Nor is he but a reproacher who was accepting
Of the passionate, pleading, tearful lover

8. Wake up, O man who with his worries
Yearns for the remote, forsaken beloved

9. For not everything you wished for will you attain
Nor everything you feared will be warded off from you

10. Nor will every greedy one gain by his greed
Nor will every hopful person benefit what he hopes for

11. And how many beseechers, if they attained their wish
Would remain content with evil speech among the people

12. And the stubborn whose hearing, when reproached
Hears what he wants from the matter of foolishness

13. And from a speaker whose speech reveals his blindness
While he had been wrapping himself from that in listening

14. And from a silent one, wisely, without suspicion
Or fault from a shameful affair he wraps himself
