1. The charm of your goodness allures me at dawn
As your right wing gracefully unfurls

2. And your heart flutters down from its perch
Like the fluttering of hands and limbs

3. Leaving behind a wondrous plumed tail
Of loyalty's fine trappings

4. Your words intoxicated me when you came
Begging my poetry, craving chitchat

5. Yet I see you, most virtuous lord
Withdrawing, naming it non-fraternization

6. The literatus of chastity is the best literatus
And the chastity of the literatus is the best chastity

7. We knew you as the most eloquent poet
So if you withdraw, it is out of decency

8. And the transgressors, who are they and their ilk
Nothing but stench from rotting carrion

9. Judge them fairly, they suffer torment
And fear Allah, O people of equity

10. To you my affections and greetings
And ode with the congenial friend

11. Then excuse him while ill
A brother in illness deserves care

12. And pray to Allah for health and wellness
For He alone is the Healer, the Grantor of wellness
