1. A graceful steed does not fret with suspicion
And becomes ragged from the flesh of parasites

2. If I satirize you as you have claimed
Then my fingers did not raise my whip against me

3. For what has been said is not idle
Blame the times, not a man's endeavor

4. And how could my love live and my support
Be for the Prophet's family, adornment of gatherings

5. For they have virtue which subdues people
To it in a cave beneath which they take shelter
