1. My Master, all creatures have borne witness
That You are the succor of every noble one

2. And that Your justice in authority is firm
It makes the oppressor suffer for the oppressed

3. So look upon the clerk Jalaq with a glance
That blinds him from his despised wrongdoing

4. And favor me with the return to a position
That wicked foe of mine would be pleased with

5. The office of minister has become for my post
A steed for one who has not a beast's tail

6. In the era I praised, as long as I praised, it remained secure
I never bought an office with leather

7. And in the era of praise I was a man of bounty
So allow, in Your era, my comfort to return
