1. O guest of Musa, my brother Khuzaymah though deaf
Or Fataham if you have not become deaf

2. He lowered his gaze when you came singing praises
So he said no merit over bounty

3. And he shivered for fear of being questioned as
One shivers at death, suffering pain

4. I feared if he died I would be blamed for it
So I got up seeking deliverance from blame

5. If he had the treasure of servants in his hand
He would not cease to suffer nothingness
