1. What you hoped and yearned for has eluded you;

    so wash your hands of him—of Abbas—with despair.

  2. And wash your hands with ushnan; cleanse them well

    of whatever favor you hope to receive from Abbas.

  3. May your Lord reward you, Abbas, on Faraj’s behalf

    with the Gardens of Eden—and on mine, with two bunches of myrtle.

Sol 5.6
