1. My brother, do not blame me, even if I am at fault,
For the sin of a young man in drunkenness calls for excuse.

2. And it suffices you to think that I was a sinner
Based on news for which I have apologized for Khubar.

3. So here I am, more knowing of my excuse than he who
Drunkenness brought upon me, since I do not know.

4. And if my poetry has come to you with a slip,
It has come to ask your pardon for its sin, my poetry.

5. So you have an excuse my mind has created,
Even though my mind did not feel my sin.
