1. Dreams we see or a new era,
Or all creation in one living being repeated,

2. He was revealed to us so he illuminated us,
As if we were stars who found good fortune,

3. We saw the full moon and its fathers,
A new moon, full moon, and crescent born,

4. We sought his pleasure by leaving what
We were pleased by so we left prostration,

5. A prince, a prince with fresh dew upon him,
A generous one, stingy about not giving,

6. He is spoken of about his virtues reluctantly,
As if he has a jealous heart about them,

7. And he only prefers to flee,
And only estimates he will increase,

8. As if your gifts are some predestination,
So whatever you give of it we find renewed,

9. And sometimes a brave band in turmoil,
You returned with it the faded dark swords black,

10. And terrors you exposed, and blades you broke,
And spears you left inactive, destroying,

11. And money you gave without appointment,
And spears you preceded with threats,

12. By sheathing your swords, their scabbards,
The blades wished they could become cradled,

13. To ambitions they set out from their like,
You see a heart set out from blossoms and flowers,

14. You killed the souls of the enemies with iron,
Until you killed the iron with them,

15. So you exhausted the remainder of their lives,
And left what you possessed of blame eternal,

16. As if with poverty you seek wealth,
And with death in war you seek eternity,

17. Creatures guided to their Lord,
And I saw a sign of glory the servants saw,

18. Well-mannered, sweet, and bitter,
We belittled the seas with it and the lions,

19. Far in its nearness describing it,
Extravagant assumptions and the poem flows,

20. So you are alone among the sons of Adam,
And are not without peer, alone.
