1. Now witness that I repent
After her, O son of the repentant one

2. I do not think well, and my hostility towards
My friend and companion was wrong

3. If they turn away from me, their turning away
Is a persistent, clinging praise

4. Or if they excluded me when they saw that I
Am an individual among people, as deserved

5. And glory, of the eloquent and the scribe
I sell my clothes, and if only they

6. Would support me with a regular wage
