1. O you who speak wrongly,
Hold your advice and lessen your rebuke,

2. And avoid me, and know that you will be disobeyed,
And it is better for you to avoid me somewhat.

3. If you give advice hypocritically,
Always being drunk, far from understanding,

4. There is no fault in me for what you said, I
Am a knowledgeable one, comprehending the answer.

5. The delight of my eye is its passion,
So leave the blame and leave me to what is in me.

6. Do not blame me for the wine, and evening
Came, cooling drink appealed to the soul.

7. By God, who is my Lord, truthfully
I swear, not lying.

8. The most generous people, a comfort upon us
When near them and when distant from them.

9. I met her circumambulating and she turned away
When she saw my estrangement and avoidance.

10. She reproached me a moment, crying,
Then my friend strengthened her address.

11. And it is enough for me as a lesson for opponents
Unlike her when my repentance was sincere.
