Long enough for my riding, no life or foot remains.

But no house for tolerance exists, nor any people.

No one unloads their belongings where generosity dwells.

Whose honor and wealth were never lacking in charity.

Especially if the place changes its horizons.

9. The breadth of his open chest when he descends upon villages
And the eloquence of his discourse when crowds gather.

Was a sword forged by the glance of its questioner.

As if madness or dementia had seized it.

With the palm of his killer above his head as a blade?

Achievements, unmatched by the sands.

14. You have inherited the legacy of glory from every master
Upon whose shoulders the burdens of the exalted weighed heavily.

And which lion has a cub as his successor?

16. You have struck the unjust mute in the night of tyranny
And the just rises among you as an eloquent speaker.

17. I have mastered rhyme and meter when I sought to praise you -
Oh how many mounts are controlled by a stallion!
