1. Abuzza was not a well-known town
That drew the eyes of people from afar

2. Until you settled there, and its fame spread
Sweet like the fragrance of musk when aired

3. And people began journeying there while
Its paths became crowded with visitors

4. Forgive me, Abu Al Abbas, do not blame
A friend for the sins he has attained

5. I swear by your right that no crime
I have intentionally committed or lacked right

6. I have never frowned at you suddenly
When I bring good news to people, delighted

7. But I knew the laziness of a poet
Who complains of laziness while swallowing saliva

8. Forgive beautifully for promises broken
For you are fit for such beautiful forgiveness
