1. I am innocent of what appears on my cheek as a scar
And my honor is not for the first slanderer

2. He prefers me over the youths for I have stayed up at night
So I am not blamed nor do I feel regret

3. I am innocent, if my cloak is worn out
A generous soul would not find fault between its threads

4. I have been weaned from youth and it has been weaned from me
As the berries have been weaned from the vines

5. I do not procrastinate in enjoying life’s pleasures
Like one who pays off his enemy bit by bit

6. Nor with a drinking companion who inspires me to music
And delight until the boon reveler arouses me

7. But with one well-connected in doing good deeds
For every act of kindness, he has pedigree

8. I summoned him: “Arise and take it!”
For its auspicious times have risen like stars

9. With a ransom that humbles the soul
And demeans the cowardly and commoners

10. So he arose and I arose, two passion-roused brothers
In delight on a night made for them

11. I pull the train of my gown while he pulls my leg
Drowsiness makes it deviate then straightens

12. Ask the two repentants what she granted him
And ask her what she contained for the generous one

13. The two persons share halfway but
Fate has granted one health and the other sickness
