1. Ahmad is my Lord, from whom I drew light
In the darkness of calamities.

2. I frequented the gates of kings for a time,
But my sins did not attract their waters.

3. How often did they invite me to stables,
To which the passions of hearts incline!

4. But I protected my honor and spoke outright,
Without any ambiguity:

5. "Do not oblige me with the sins of others-
My own sins are enough for me!"
