1. Why have you melted my heart with longing,
Only to turn away now that I am set on leaving?

2. I had committed no sin before this
Except cautioning you against certain traits.

3. I wished you to be called wise
When all is laid bare through speech.

4. And not to be tested by an unworthy people
So that gossip and rumor do not spread about you.

5. Both friend and foe would hear it
And you would regret it before the proudest of men.

6. Not everyone will believe my words about you.
You would have risen above the highest summit.

7. Protect a soul dearer to me than my own
And may my family and wealth protect you from harm.

8. Know that I have committed no sin
Apart from what my actions have wrought.

9. You will find me, willingly, obedient
To your command, in the unlawful and lawful.

10. By God Almighty, my heart has not
Rebelled against you or thought to turn away.

11. Tell me, you will earn reward in the Final Gathering
When the slandered are in need of speech.
