1. I have a fasting steed that told of the steed of chess
And truth is not obscure

2. In Isfahan with me and its courtyard
Spacious, breath-taking

3. It was not enough that he told it while detained
With no context more detained than he

4. So every day I examine the direction
Of counting the houses on horse

5. And he was charged with what was drained
The Greeks watch whenever he prowls

6. So from the high price of barley I have
And the cheapness of hay he has become bony

7. So I do not extend my gaze
To his mouth no matter how much I look I despair

8. And people, God forbid, the most generous of them
A dog, so judge them or do not so do not judge

9. Because of this I have become secluded
In the breaking of a house like a beast in hiding

10. I keep to my house contrary to what
People frequented houses and the cold is vicious

11. And my companion in his right hand a flame
Like the wind it waters not the wind like a flame

12. So they immersed in their bliss while I
In prolonged delirium am immersed

13. And the molar of my thinking on the acidity of what
Afflicts my worry from molars

14. And what is the singing of poems in my time
And what water can be drawn from barrenness

15. If not for the President whose traits
Have changed me from my desolation to companion

16. I thanked his blessings and I thank after
And my thanks are the fruits of my plantation

17. Tell the noble Amin al-Din elegantly
Hunting glories is permitted in seclusion

18. So jump for it a dusty leap
What does the lion do but pounce
