1. When I wish, a land of exile stirs me,
And a meadow of antelopes before tents.

2. Where bitterness and acid meet raging,
Strangers appear before my eyes, possessing swords.

3. Of it remains only a submissive dark cloud,
And three for the ashes of coals spitting.

4. Did you not see me make a pact with my Lord while
I stand between a saddle and stop?

5. On an oath not to insult fate while Muslim
Nor utter from within me an evil word.

6. Did you not see me - poetry has set between us
A shield from Islam bearing crosses?

7. With it the Merciful healed my chest though
My vision from it flowed light from darkness.

8. I began to seek to unclasp a necklace
A hostage of burdens upon me bones.

9. I fear being called while my pool is suspended
If the day of flowers were a day of dispute.

10. I did not stop until my sins surrounded
Me from behind and knocked on the doors of ages.

11. By my life - excellent was the inclination
Of the man at evening the sale of pigeons.

12. With the repentance of a servant whose heart returned
Who did not give people anything but darkness.

13. I obeyed you, O Devil, seventy arguments
But when my old age ended and my time was complete

14. I fled to my Lord and was certain that I
Would meet the days of death's pigeon roost.
