1. I have few friends, I deemed them
Above gems for the destitute miser

2. They never looked at me with suspicion
Rather they revere me like the inspired prophet

3. From them I drew my rays and to them
Their glories returned and I went back to them

4. The wheel of time spun around not them
And they gathered around me and around my pain

5. They created joys for me from the core of sorrow
As if disasters were my comfort

6. None of them sold the treasure of my affection
As if he had sold my honor or blood

7. He who makes hypocrisy his food and drink
And plotting his craft, blessing my misfortune

8. And went on obliging me after betrayal
Betrayal deserves nothing but my smile

9. I am a man who lives because my faith
Lives, and I am not one who stains my principles

10. And because I am above suspicions and my ways
Were neither for the content nor the blamers

11. And if I am stabbed by one I loved
The blame is mine, I who knew no repentance

12. A world I will sever without mercy
From it and did not begrudge it my mercy

13. O you who lives making mischief and your life
Is deceit upon deceit and ignorant fancy

14. Do not think me, after your betrayal, blind
Love cannot be for the unseeing

15. If my eyes were charmed by a treacherous
Hypocritical enchanter singing his rhymes

16. Truth refuses that I waste my compassion
And justice refuses that I stray like the blind
