إِنّي استَحَيتُكَ أَن أَفوهَ بحاجَتي

فَإِذا قَرأتَ صَحيفَتي فَتَفَهَّمِ

I am too shy to tell you plainly of my need

So when you read my letter, try to understand

وَعَلَيكَ عَهدُ اللَهِ إِن أَنبأتَهُ

أَهلَ السَيالَةِ إِن فَعَلتَ وَإِن لَمِ

And I adjure you by God’s covenant, if you reveal it

To prying eyes, whether you do so or not
