1. I will attain my desires, though I am aggrieved,
With every gentle word from my lips,

2. And every tall man I have stretched out,
Like a spear, whispering to you from its head.

3. Yet I am defiant against unforgiving lands,
And how often has the long arm of Hiran brought me glory,

4. And my heart obeys me, even if I am like those,
Whom I meet in this age as disobedient.

5. And I know that fate toys in its turning,
With the wealth of so-and-so one time, and so-and-so another.
