1. Afatim, go slowly with some of my blame, for I
Only amuse a soul that is impatient to depart.

2. You say, "You have carried debt in your eyes and pillars."
I hastened my money and recalled my opponents.

3. If you wanted me to stay, then make it brief
Upon you, you who remain, what remains.

4. Afatim, what will you accomplish about what befalls me
When it ascends until it touches the highest?

5. And they have sent their shroud-maker, so they took comfort
In a heart inclined not to stay long in Iraq.

6. And the loved ones who used to love my company
Loved me and I did not sin against them by parting.
