1. O my friend, let go of blaming and criticizing me
For what is past cannot be undone

2. A man has naught but what God has granted him
And what He withholds does not exist

3. The matter grows hard when you miss its true course
Until you are guided aright by the enlightened

4. I wonder, as the slanderers say of us
When the living intended and inclined towards ascension

5. When she became independent and turned away, not speaking to us
While tears flowed down the cheeks and brow

6. I had hoped for favors whose time had come
But none came my way nor kept their promise
