1. You increased after lessening
And added to your state in my state

2. No debt of yours was settled
In the first nor last era

3. My threat to take back my slave boy
If you do not enrich him with wealth

4. You gave me your money generously
How could you not take my money?

5. If you reconcile relatives out of weakness
Then your uncles are my in-laws

6. And poetry is hostage to reward from one
Who hints of favor and bounty

7. And in Abi Talha I have an intercessor
And your neighbor Shah Ibn Miqal

8. And all the requests are hoped for
For every favor and bounty

9. So complete the favors which the likes of you
Have always bestowed upon the likes of me
