1. The reproaches of reproachers surround the heart of the wanderer,
And the passions of lovers emanate from its darkness.

2. The blamer complains to the blamers of his burning,
And avoids when he is blamed for his joys.

3. By my delight, O my reproacher, the king whom
I angered all people to please him.

4. If he has ruled the hearts, he surely
Has ruled the time with its land and sky.

5. The sun is jealous of him, and victory is
Among his peers, and the sword is among his names.

6. Where are the three compared to his three traits
Of beauty, pride, and prosperity?

7. Eras have passed and none has come like him,
And when he came they fell short of equalling him.
