1. Alas! Who will convey on my behalf to Khizaymah,
And to the wayward one who did not guard my in-law kinship;

2. So beware the mischief of backbiting women
Whose prayers are like the sparks of glowing embers.

3. For verily I have received what you have done,
And how little esteem you had from the full moon poetry.

4. So it was not up to you to rescue me,
Though single I am, in a land of stones.

5. For its answer comes every day,
Afflicting souls among you and widespread.

6. And whoever waits for news,
His Master sends him support without early merit.
