1. O you whose grieving heart is heavy with care
In the evening remembering Rai'a mother of Harun

2. In the evening remembering her after she walked away
And time is harsh at times, and at times gentle

3. If love for her has become our evening sorrow
And advice from her does not come to me in the morning

4. We were rich and time's circumstances bring us together
I obey Rai'a and Rai'a does not disobey me

5. They throw accusations but do not miss their opponents
With sincere friendship hidden in the heart

6. I have a cousin who has character and I have character
We disagreed so leave him be and leave me be

7. It seems to me that our ostriches have been separated
So leave him alone without me, rather I left him without me

8. O cousin you think yourself nobler than me
You do not judge me so do not condemn me

9. You cannot provide for my family on a day of poverty
Nor with yourself make me self-sufficient in times of hardship

10. If you want the honor of the world to be diminished through me
Then that is not what grieves me

11. Nothing but patience shows loss
And nothing else, for God is enough for me

12. If not for family ties you would not keep them
And fear of God against those who do not oppose me

13. Then I would consider you innocent without coercion
I saw you do not cease to blame me

14. Indeed, He who gives and withholds the world
If He has made you needless of me, He will make me needless of you

15. And God knows me and God knows you
And God will reward you for me and reward me

16. Why is it upon me when you are my relatives
That I not love you when you did not love me

17. If you were to drink my blood your drinker would not be sated
Nor would your blood altogether quench my thirst

18. O cousin if people's minds were set against me
I would remain shooting them with arrows

19. Abbas if you do not stop insulting me and belittling me
I will strike you wherever the spot says "Quench my thirst"

20. My sword is sharp, my mother did not raise a shepherd
Who herds miscarriages, and my view is not misguided

21. I am obstinate, stubborn, one who guards himself
And the son of one stubborn from two stubborn ones

22. Nothing but refusal comes from me to one who does not want compliance from me
And I do not soften for those who do not want me to soften

23. Chaste, resistant - if I fear loss from a land
I do not linger in dishonor

24. Every person will one day revert to his true nature
Even if he pretends to be of another nature for a while

25. By your life I do not care for one of closed mind
To a friend, nor is deceit my best quality

26. I have the manners of noble folk
Corrupted, and I am not safe from corruption

27. While you are a group more than a hundred
So gather your affairs, diverse, and plot against me

28. If you know the path of righteousness, then set forth
And if you do not know the path of righteousness, then come to me

29. I used to give you my money and bestow upon you
My affection, steadfast, hidden in the heart

30. But, many lively people prone to rage and stupidity
I called to account when they were already in debt

31. I repaid their falsehood upon the speaker
Until they remain defeated adversaries

32. Abbas, had you known me to be an agreeable man
Generous, who rewards those who reward me

33. By God, if my palm disliked my companionship
I would say, since it dislikes my closeness, let it be distant from me
