1. For what has befallen me and their worries are concerns
When they say farewell, what can you say

2. So do not blame me long for I do not listen
I know whether you shorten or lengthen

3. Are you not angered when your advice passes
Like mere dust receiving no acceptance

4. In the rain you early wept, a heart
Permeated between its drops sorrow

5. Moons whose lights set
Branches lean and so entice

6. Hips charm waists
And how can the fat allure the lean

7. You say: "Had you borne patience
With fine patience, fine passion"

8. Leave my resolve and what it's called to
For only what appalls grows mild

9. Most frightening me is death
And how often has its messenger come to me

10. It tries what you haven't stinted me

11. But it kept away when it saw me
Close to my father Hasan son of Lulu

12. And how many turns of fate went around me
Made timeless by an era that doesn't change

13. Generosity neglects the clouds disdainfully
When intensity flows between them

14. Morals like virgins of singing girls
When they don veils of modesty

15. Views hanging undecided
Though fixed in roving thoughts

16. Minds may bring when settled
What minds cannot sustain

17. Were meanings to race me to you at night
As if an invented saying

18. I cannot attain excellence in speech
So how when you are a skilled speaker

19. Many poets throng you, so see
Though numerous, they are few

20. As for wayfarers, it is not for them
When asking you a boon, a way
