1. I have the highest honor which defied
None can resist my glorious might

2. I am he but for my forefathers' works
No kingdom's flags would have been raised high

3. A youth whose craftsmanship all men seek
No day goes by without a creditor's claim

4. His steeds are foremost in every land
When he races those unfit to race

5. In drought he gives water when rains fail
Can anyone match my fathers' merits?

6. We've clothed many an orphan and the dead
Shielding, supporting them, hiding their flaws

7. How my grandsire struggled to extend his craft
Stooping his shoulders and his flanks

8. Mastering the rugged and unruly mount
Subduing it, making it accept the rein

9. Then it calmed after bucking, and gentled
Until its rider could control its way

10. I stand firm if when the lances charge
My companions fall back in the fray

11. Not as one who flees from the campaign
Asking his friend to accompany his flight
