1. Tell the scornful slanderer,
The covenant of people is broken.

2. O rising of misfortune that extended
Only to humiliate the staffs of misfortune.

3. You trusted in the wine cup and its pourer,
While the like of you is destined for the cup.

4. And the state of Mayyas, oh how far
Between your helper and Mayyas!

5. My panting breath among them
And their kingdom cut off my breath.

6. No harm, my Master, that they
Are the end of hate and harm.

7. They are the nights, and for them is decline
And loneliness after intimacy.

8. While youth turned away and rose above the lad,
It was said his glory settled on the head.

9. So leave him and stop talking about them,
The rememberer will become like the forgetful.
