1. Do you know ruins and a dream demolished
Like your line on soft parchment, an embellished book

2. Which the spirits circulated after its intimacy
Months and days and a fateful year

3. The vicissitudes have changed the outward appearance of its soil
And time has changed what was once a landmark

4. And changed it the long passage of time and decay
So I don't recognize the ruins except as imagined

5. Its ornaments have collapsed which once had delight
And a forehead like the silk of Sabiriyyah worn out

6. And a throat where the light of the forehead adorned it
The sparkle of ruby and symmetrical beads

7. Like embers it blew on them after the slumber of night
The spirits of youth breathing and fragrant

8. The shaded house gives us a special light
When the night tries to smile

9. When it turns over the mattress once
The whisper of the necklace murmurs murmuring

10. And two reproachers blew after the slumber
Blaming the useful accused blemished

11. Blaming when the star misguided
A young man who doesn't see harm in praise infatuated

12. So I said and the reproach has been long upon them
Even if they excuse me, they ascertain and determine

13. Do not blame me for what has already passed
The vicissitudes of fate are sufficient as a judge

14. You cannot retrieve what has gone by
And I do not regret what has passed

15. Honor yourself, for if you compromise upon yourself
You will not find fate honoring you

16. Do not disgrace yourself for the one whose birth you desire
For when he dies, wealth becomes spoils divided

17. Do not make yourself miserable over him, so an heir is happy
When you fear the dark complexion eclipsed

18. He divides it as war booty and buys prestige
While you have become in the earth a line greater

19. Little pleases the heir to praise you
When he takes from what you used to hoard

20. Bear the flaws of the lowly and preserve their affection
You will not be able to have forbearance until you endure

21. When will you mend the grudges of the clan with graciousness
And the harm ceases, the disease is decided severed for you

22. I am not roused in my passions by bellicosity
If I do not find in it my leader preceding

23. If you want, purposefully ignore the evil woman's
Transgression towards you and rebuke the miserable blamed

24. He of a gentle nature and piety is truthful when he sees
Those of corrupt morals to have dignity

25. So neighbor a generous man and ignite from his flint
And lean on him if the ladder extends long

26. The defective I have turned away from, and it did not harm
And the crooked I straightened, so he straightened

27. And I forgive the flaws of the generous, storing him
And I pardon the insult of the miserable, dignifying

28. I do not abandon a patron even if he is abandoning
Nor insult the son of an uncle if he is defeated

29. Nor does my independence from him increase separation
Even if he is deficient in wealth, deprived

30. A frightful night whose horrors I donned
When the night frowns with weakness

31. The rogue will not gain praise or wealth
If he does not embark on a mighty matter

32. He sees hunger as torture even if he finds satiation
His heart remains ambiguous from worries

33. May God embarrass the rogue, his wishes and concerns
Of life are to find clothes and cuisine

34. He sleeps until dusk, and when his night arrives
He wakes up with a wounded heart

35. Staying with the spendthrifts, not alert
If there is benefit in food and getting stuffed

36. By God is the rogue, his worries accompany him
And he proceeds amid events and fate preceding

37. A young man of aspirations who does not see hunger as comfort
Nor satiation if he attains it, counts it as war booty

38. When he sees the generous turn away one day
He prepares his shroud then determines

39. You see his spear, arrows and shield
And the horse swift to calamity saddled

40. And the straps of a submissive worn saddle and his reins
A stirred young man, quick glancing, branded
