1. Your rebuke, my brother, with blame
Does not lead to discord like this

2. You, the sun, the bright mornings, and the ten nights
And the dawn, other than the keeper of sorrows

3. We never knew you, O noble of nature
To turn the soul away from the zeal of the generous

4. There is not in our books a question of obtaining
Anything from you, that you feared rejecting greetings

5. We are content with sustenance in this world
Even if it falls short of the sustenance of ostriches

6. And if our share is betrayed, we will not complain
Except to Allah, the most just of dividers

7. How can you forget, O Babylonian stranger
Who spent the night among suspicions and illusions

8. And saddened, when he sighed, the embers
Of night returned as burning coals

9. And if he despaired, about to crack from grief
And the cycle of celestial spheres became disordered

10. He spent the night under affliction until he wished
That dwelling would be under soft sand
