1. O friend, speak of my need
Did you recall it amidst what you recalled

2. Or do you not see that reproach
When turned to it becomes blemished

3. Recommend the pureness of a friend
And recall through it what you have said

4. Verily ease with forgiveness
When you suffer from what you sought

5. And a promise is of the religion of nobles
So what do you see in what you promised

6. The easiest beginnings of a need
The tongue ventured it and it flowed

7. Wealth is the most fleeting destroyer
And thanks are the most useful that you attempted

8. And of wonders is that you
Gifted me then it reversed

9. And I sent Ayya the liar
And when you come to us, you lied

10. So I see you follow what is condemned
And not hasten to what is praised

11. If there is propriety in the mistake
Then you have succeeded and not failed
