1. I did not forget when Malik called me out
As we stood before the mounted travelers

2. And his request when he said, “Are you the informant
Of people and how they spent this day, O Ibn Ghalib?”

3. So I said “Yes, and the dancing girls are going to Mina
If I reach the goal of every desirer”

4. And the loyalty of people was best for them
A call and a hand that grabbed every side

5. I will complain a complaint that my complaining
Will either help me or excuse the addressed

6. I complained to you of the hardship of people and homes
And that offspring have returned like strangers
