1. Ibn Muti' called to the seller, so I came to him
To the allegiance of my heart, of which he was unaware

2. So he brought out to me a coarse one, when I touched it
It was so coarse, it was not from the palms of gentle ones

3. From the scattered wrinkles, I denied its touch
It was not of the smooth white hands of gentle maidens

4. Repeatedly striking the stones against each other
So they returned it, when it was the day of bartering

5. He did not specify, when I swore allegiance to him, my successor
Nor did he impose any condition, save the condition of the gambler
