1. Some idols caused some strife
Were it not for duality I'd have said twofold

2. I forgot it when I hid it
So I have a passion but know not for whom

3. I hung it gleefully, gleefully
Sorrow is upon it and anguish upon me

4. Whenever we meet, be serious and excel
Reconcile, show kindness, not reject or disdain

5. From a beloved who turned away from what she promised
In a land and from a dwelling that did not exist

6. Stop, recognize what passion has concealed
So it publicly declared what was hidden

7. It made the bodies sick with love-sickness
So that every eyelid harbored malady

8. So do not be fooled by pretense of composure
And let assumptions prevail over assumption

9. Even if you swore and passion turned you back
It would lead you, turned back to it, to wither away

10. The noble lineage whose nobility was pardoned
I no longer recognize the description of baseness

11. Because of that they said you were stingy with us
While they were stingy, and time passed

12. How long does the generosity of Hatim
Last for them before it changes when they age

13. I will refrain except for the noble ones
Though I have a price for everything

14. I will be patient until God judges for me
And Haydarah son of Al-Hasan judges

15. The whiteness of his character has become stained
Never did I see a gallant stained as such

16. He was the brother of generosity until he rose up
And became a father, and embraced and cradled

17. So arise and behold the wonder in nobility!
Its father is its wetnurse in suckling milk

18. You have judged, and truth is with your companion
In the obligations of his rulings and traditions

19. The chief of chiefs has become worthless
Lying disgraced at your door

20. So you have become a trusted trustee
And truly the trustee should feel safe

21. Praise that you'd think its scrolls
If unfurled, were from the parchments of Yemen

22. Its necklaces on the necks of the hopeful
Are all suspended by favors

23. You awoke when the eyes of all
Are lined eternally with withering

24. So you saw me, how I became
In the hands of fate, confused and mortgaged

25. So be generous and outpace fate, I see
Cares that drive one mad when night falls
