1. I stayed in Janbula for twenty days
And I was like its roses above the meadows

2. I struggled against time in sorrow and harm
When luck declined, it lost its manners

3. I protect myself from generosity
And lower my aspirations after rising high

4. I endure her family members and change my nature
To the villainy of chivalry and character

5. If not for their villainy, I'd have kept my nature
But I'm not the man to be obeyed

6. I tested people in east and west
And cast life from all places

7. I've never seen anyone worse than them
Scheming openly and in secret

8. I reluctantly shunned noble morals
When they refused to follow me

9. I hid my torment and suppressed my anger
And the anger of the heart from the evil of life

10. I reluctantly left them the sweet life
And contented myself with their allotted share

11. Fearing discord and their vicious
Betrayal and deception

12. I didn't forbid drinking wine out of piety
But out of fear and abstinence from suckling

13. Greedy hyenas ruled a barren land
And in evil they are like beasts

14. I lived in their land and fed myself
With shattered hopes and rays

15. With them I hoped for riches and wasted my life
I was like a shepherd milking a male goat

16. I was like a hungry man who foolishly
Seeks satiety in the home of the starving
