1. Say to al-Muḥḍira for me—

    and I doubt you will be pleased:

  2. Never count on my leaving you alone,

    or think you can purchase honor for yourself.

  3. You willingly thrust yourself

    between noble men and my honor.

  4. And satire has stars

    that see your sky as earth.

  5. So turn your gaze away from it—

    for it has turned its gaze from you,

  6. fearing you will waste the ba—

    —sil in the privy.

Sol 5.6
