1. O Abu Hafs al-Mu'ai,
Do not mock those afflicted with misfortune,

2. And beware of others.
If what you mentioned about me is true,

3. Though news can be false,
Then you have been afflicted by my troubles and fate.

4. Whoever sees your narrow forehead
Will not desire riches.

5. I have always been chaste towards it,
Neither touching nor looking,

6. Without desiring
What most mortals covet.
