Yet beloved of people in general

2. So wonder at him, how he protects and is protected
And restrains enemies and enriches the destitute

3. And becomes great among the second group of people
Whose lives were shattered into pieces

4. So if you invert the first hemistich
The riddle's text becomes clear in meaning

5. Its heart, after you remove the fa from it
Is something that legalizes prohibitions

6. Or a small boy, well-mannered if taught
He accepts to be educated

7. So explain what I have said, and specify
And with it take an honorable stand
