1. A man deemed unlucky is called Sa'eed,
With a head softer than iron itself,

2. When injustice weighs on him one day,
He breaks, though his pact be rock-solid,

3. Thus is the breast of David's boy ever bruised,
And in the Misers' hearts for him only hate breeds,

4. He who was mocked amid river spray one day,
With cold pouring down as glaciers did recede,

5. To his palm a goblet and horseback ride fit,
And his legs have love for shackles as their meet.
