1. And the moralizer faulting me, customary,
So I said to her, "I lost a customary path."

2. I returned to loss and corruption,
And I'm not one who takes the paths to righteousness.

3. I swear I won't respond to blame,
Even if I intended the caller's voice.

4. What is prayer or fasting a month to me?
Or striving on pilgrimage or striving in jihad?

5. I will remove the finery of my righteousness, for as long as I live,
And wear the madness of corruption.

6. And I disobey my moralizer secretly and openly,
And I take the rabble as my provision.

7. And I follow the ways of the people of Lot,
And I do not refrain from the rebellion of the people of A'd.
