1. If he heads towards a just land
And the air is good for him and balanced

2. And he passes by the side facing south
With a northern decline, he is clothed

3. If he visits the house of a generous people
Or the house of mean people, he lodged

4. A horseman's mother and the house of Husain
I loved Shiraz, so I stayed there

5. Whoever lives with rain, wherever he moves
The rain follows him wherever he travels

6. Yes, if it restored his lost life
And he was an old cloud that departed

7. So give him a share of my experience, what he can bear
And load him with my sighs, what he carried

8. And say, if asked about Shiraz, who
Was killed by yearning for us and transported

9. And your governor, distance did not dissolve him
And your lover, separation did not weary him

10. He hopes to restrain your enemies
And God has fulfilled that hope

11. And he who your doubts proved false, betrayed you
As did the titles and tricks in you

12. Content with slander without the meeting
That is not the way of the hero

13. If you went out victorious by the meadow
Write apologizing for failing

14. So you had the question when you got up
And he had the bad when he faltered

15. Your resolve weakened and the rumors
The king’s hand held its knuckles unbound

16. And the singer whose banner you housed
Like a shadow for it that does not move

17. And afterwards, ask my heart and do not
Inquire about my longing’s play with it, do not

18. And think about my eyes, no but what settles
When their tears pour out and accumulate

19. I pass by your house seeking rain
Then I return while it counts afflictions

20. I repeat: is my time coming back?
To your dwellings, it said yes, after ah!

21. Be patient, soon you will see it
And how soon fortune comes after respite

22. And it commands regarding you what cannot
Be rejected, not like the breach of the camel man

23. So I said I will tell him the talk
Maybe I get justice, it said yes

24. For you is the good - the complaint of the humiliated questioner
If you were present, he would not be disgraced

25. You honored first, as you know
Like rain that did not wait to be asked

26. So he contradicted your order with
Refusing - a treatment - if encouraged - is heavy

27. And said: the two Siyan[1] lie about what
Was directed to me and what was not

28. And I had written to him once
So the issue between us was settled

29. So I reckon the slaves of Suleib[2] remember what was between us of ordeals
And I have not wronged the horses of early times

30. Against the Romans, so he blamed me for the first!
It is as if I said about Maryam[3]

31. Far it is from her to conceive
And I shared with the Jews in Jesus’s blood

32. As he claims Jesus was killed
And I destroyed Saint Mercerguis’s[4] altar

33. And extinguished his burning lantern
And I deprived Agricola[5] the bishop

34. Of his pork flesh that he made lawful
And I exposed the son of the Catholicus[6]

35. And they don’t know of a Catholicus ancestry
Why does he not falsely blame me in religion?

36. Since he claims a divine son was begotten!
And that his three are one

37. And claims whoever rejects this is ignorant
And I have for him arrows seeking

38. The evil contractor’s nape, blackened
Rhymes that blame, so if they were aimed

39. At his father’s side, he would not have carried!
So order me regarding him and leave him with me

40. And may our compassion be for the lowest
And whoever ate dogs when

41. You pardon your money, he was stingy
When was your order unless the miserable one

42. Rejects, and far it is from what he did!
You honored first, as you have known
