1. And a people of false hatred as if
In their chests is what kindles embers against us

2. It boils within them against us like
A pot boils with what flames are in it

3. Their cheeks turn away when facing me
At a gathering, as if they are aloof

4. Their heads recoil if a woman praises me
While amongst them, and they have no dignity

5. If they hear evil, it appears on their faces
For what they heard said in praise of us

6. I always find a slanderer insulting me
Wickedly behind my back or a frowning critic

7. If the full moon were asked about our ordeal
And it praised what is in us, then the full moon would be praised

8. To protect our reputations and our lives
When there is no shield for us but swords

9. The women revealed their bodies and displayed
From fright, stars - the beauty of their complexions flowers
