1. The musk pouch was sealed, yet still diffused its scent,
Needing no one to vouch for its quality.

2. The excellence of the noble soul is never hidden,
Neither by lies nor false imputations.

3. The one whose virtue shone forth among the virtuous,
Has no need for anyone to attest to it.

4. Sometimes the crescent moon is obscured on a cloudy night,
Then it emerges, illuminating the entire horizon.

5. The back of the waves cannot be ridden without a boat,
Nor can a necklace be strung without a thread.

6. Pure gold cannot become jewelry until it is cast,
This sums up many parables - let whoever will, relate them.

7. It invalidated all wishes of Yemeni, Syrian and Meccan,
It is made neither by an Ayni artisan nor woven by an Aqqi.
