1. Though I have never wished harm upon the mean
Even if his wealth rivals your love, so supreme

2. Not every flash that shines is made to tempt me
Nor all who bestow, bestow as bounty’s stream

3. When this is called a spring, I say I see
Yet the soul bears thirst when waters teem

4. O lords I’ve served in song and praise
I laud lords but to serve, it would seem

5. No flaw in me though odes I’ve sought
A prophet God’s blessings on him stream

6. And Ali, the virgin and Ahmed
Dawns cannot hide their lights’ high gleam
