1. Seperation called the mixed drinker and he departed
And you sat asking the ruins about him

2. They lingered with them while dawn took away the darkness
A feast, kindling intermittent flames

3. As if in the bosoms on the day they went away
Were virgin lotus trees donning shadows

4. Displaying cheeks white like pages
Of smooth Indian steel, polished

5. Evil looked from you as they looked at her
And imagined in your eyelids a specter

6. Fair, the companion of talk, as if
Her beauty kindled a blaze

7. On her face, the leaves of bliss filled the eyes
With brackishness, charm and beauty

8. Evil wondered, when she saw me wan
Oh evil! Time has been reversed and changed

9. Oh evil! After you I was laden with worries
And burdens of affairs heavy upon me

10. And corruption of people whose affection was ripped
Their actions lost and they went astray

11. Their souls do not settle from abhorrence
That cut relations and bonds

12. A people who are the harm of life and its malady
Affliction with them against me lingered

13. They eat hatred and treachery
And see the flesh of the unwary as lawful

14. They are the bugs of evil on a black day
Jostling in greed and meanness

15. They are the robes of talk, if they called
To evil, it dripped from them or flowed

16. I turned the faces of despair from them
And cut off intimacy and connection with them

17. I left them to oxidation, and the ground tested them
I found in them an argument and words

18. I repay those who hold grudges with grudges
And I am harsh to those who offend
