1. You have withdrawn from affection and harmony
And grown weary of unity and accord

2. Ignorance has made you stumble so much
That you almost undid the bond of alliance

3. Turn away from the one you cast aside
While my opinion of you remains obscured

4. Have I ever failed you after you left
Or composed verse improperly with bad rhyme?

5. I refrain from reproaching you in matters
Beware of arrogance towards me or aloofness

6. How many crooked people of twisted ways
Were straightened by the touch of culture

7. I have two characters: one is wise and consultative
One is in the form of penetrating poison

8. It is right that I repay each people
With what they have done to me, and take vengeance

9. Tell me, how can one with a wing rise
When his bases and supports are gone?

10. Do not add fire to allies
For fire is quick to spread amongst the kindling

11. I sent poetry to defame Aqil
Whose impact was like that of flames

12. The poems left nothing of him
As the winds leave nothing of dust

13. Explain to me how one with a wing can soar
When his bases and props are lost?

14. Why, out of ignorance, did I purify affection
For people whose love for me was not pure?

15. The seas are not harmed when foam
From the edges floats upon them

16. Whoever compares commoners to nobles
Has compared floods to droplets

17. When will you deviate from my company
And find me deviating from your company?

18. Who is this one shunning a friend
When he does not find his friend shunning him?
