1. When you knocked at the door of my retreat, I opened it
Otherwise, enter it and excel in greeting

2. You ignited the fire of blame, so be patient
With its heat, for I have protected you from its harm

3. I thought you were an aid against every misfortune
But you uttered hints, so what did you fear?

4. You became an aid for misfortunes if they came upon me
Is this from you? No, you did not make me wretched

5. If God honors me one day with a blessing
And clothes me in glory He approves

6. If I stumble, do not gloat over my downfall
My way has been watered as long as days last

7. I will remain loyal, alive, to fidelity
While you remain during my estrangement

8. Far be it from you to corrupt in selling my share
For you were called to mend my situation

9. You cut the ties of affection from me, so what
Wrong did your brother commit that you forgot him?

10. I still keep the old covenant
I have lived with people whose love for you, if forgotten

11. Are you not of pure words, deeds and manners?
You are guided to the ways of piety

12. If you do not accept advice from a young man
Then speak as you wish and go where you want

13. So speak, travel and do as you desire
