1. Whenever I think of you on the brink
After going through excuses and procrastination plenty

2. Indeed, I conceal what I have endured to protect
Your dignity, so forgive before anonymity takes off.

3. Why do you not rely on him? Had he been sincere
Time would have been to you like olden days without turbidity.

4. He took over the house of deputation so there erupted
In his raids a ground as he desired confusedly.

5. So he impoverished and became rich and his evil did not cease
And he gained the inheritance of the two worlds and did not suffice.

6. That wrongdoing added to him a ferocity
Fearing he would be punished for what he did in the past.

7. And his shortcoming has become evident in love and passion
So one who cannot withstand except feebly does not obliterate.

8.
He harassed me unjustly in order to provoke me

9. But he did not attain what he hoped from me or was sated.
And he prolonged me for a while until I complained of him

10. While I did not find except a procrastinator.
When benevolence is absent in you, we do not find

11. A brotherly tradition in justice and generosity to be emulated.
You are the leader of the generous people of time so do not

12. Deviate from moderation whether time is fair or loyal.
And do not forget sayings thanking you that have not

13. Ceased and poems praising you carefully selected.
And be merciful to one who seeks to restore his money
