1. O you who rebukes dormant reproach to rekindle what lies extinguished
Had you ruled justly you would not have judged against me while my opponent has no witness

2. You sided with my enemies so my hands are limp; does the hand strike or the arm assist?
You left my face a mosque, dusted by tears bowing in its direction

3. By the truth of the head of our betraying brother, if there was even one letter of what's been said
Do you doubt the pure gold while you and I are the assayers?

4. O frightened boy, fear not if you believe I am your father
You who made your hearing a blessing so the slanderous envier anchors by it

5. And drew from your sword's scabbard a sharpened one while my mouth is silent to rebuttal
And robbed the necklace of our love's cordiality so it became without your necklaces

6. So turn back from estrangement whose summer is free while the spring of reunion is cold
And tie the evening meeting to your hand so I come on the steeds of dread
