1. I have no companion to alleviate the tyranny of nights,
Other than the friend of a friend whom I call but is not my companion.

2. A generous king who quenched my thirst with his benevolence and wisdom,
When I complained of my misery and tribulations.

3. He brought back to me my unforgiving lost days,
And softened for me the heart of time, however blaming.

4. He saw the events striking at my dignity,
With treachery and misfortunes.

5. He saved me from its twists and revived me,
From between its claws and talons.

6. He was affectionate and brought back my past youth,
And days of departed adolescence.

7. So I will thank his benevolence like a meadow,
The singing rainfall's fountainhead.

8. And I will fill the East and West of the world,
With glimmerings of his praise and setting lights.

9. Leaving for the days a necklace from him,
Like a bead necklace around the neck of a maiden.
