1. O fairest of men in face
And noblest of men in covenant

2. Yet if he sought to be generous
He gave little and was miserly

3. If I was connected to you distractedly
I surely deserted you intentionally

4. And if I inclined to you unwittingly
I had rightly advised you

5. You exceeded the extent of my sin
And did not exceed any limit

6. You seduced the ears of my poetry
When it was extravagant and defiant

7. The shame you bear is greater
Than stringing shooting stars as a necklace

8. Since they have clothed me
With coldness instead of honor

9. And they initiated me but
I confused glory and cash

10. And every cheerful face misled me
And I said he has noble origin

11. And essence that does not recoil
So return my praise to me

12. For I do not dislike returning it
And dash the face of my wishful thinking

13. Which failed in your view intentionally
And there will come to you from me

14. Cavalries of blame that challenge
That cut a path in the land and in Najd

15. Spreading in every ear
Blame and folding praise
