1. Fulfill the promise, for the best of morals
Is what comes after it as your confirmation

2. Do not leave the one you promised, when you meet
Him, a mote that your blinks diminish

3. It is a mule you promised me, so if you break
Your promise, your manners will be broken like it

4. So fear Allah that breach would disgrace you
And the high ones and their people are your lovers

5. Do not change colors like the fickle mule
And let not my taste of you differ

6. So the poem flows blaming you
Dragged by your deserts scowling

7. Surely prolonging burdens tempts
You to tire whom fatigue does not please

8. So choose between two, and do not
Let habits throw on you their darkness

9. Lead your mule or unleash yourself in the land
Despite it, and where is my unleashing from you

10. And if rhymes seek you one day
Nothing will spare you to catch up with them

11. It is not up to me, even if you flee
I am something to it from it driven

12. Neither your long staircases save
You from my power, nor your burrows

13. Better for you than partnering with the mule
Is when matters are reckoned, your partnering

14. A free man's gratitude when you treat him well
Your freedoms have brought out his ascents

15. Or you joined the prominent, so you became
Little to the heights, your race

16. Gratitude and praise in you reach the farthest point
To which your emancipation does not end

17. And the mule daughters are more worthy of your flirtation
When their legs pass by your legs

18. I wonder as you are a perpetual downpour
To the hopeful, is your outpouring

19. One in actions, your overflowing drowns
Your rival before your flooding is seen

20. Do people see after you have granted me
Through you, to the point it was said my clinging?

21. That my status with you bans me a mule
That is something your veins refused me

22. Whoever lightened his breach so he did not
Cease to be your solemn pact with me

23. So rip the witness to loyalty as your dawn
Rips your dissolved darkness

24. You are not one who has a pact with the mule
So I pray to unlink your pact

25. We joked with you in bargaining, not the like
Of which would narrow your windpipe

26. So bear us, how much tolerance, forbearance
And endurance that shades your porch
