1. A monkey saw an elephant on the road
Running in fear of delay

2. And that monkey was half blind
Wanting to know everything learned

3. So he said hello father of terrors
And welcome humiliator of mountains

4. Heads are ransomed by your great head
Stop so I can admire your handsome looks

5. By God how graceful is this body
How refined this bone and radiant this skin

6. How adorable are the ears in their dangling
As if they are the sieve's circle

7. And how excellent is the trunk when it wanders
As if it is the palm tree in its youth

8. And your high back is the carpet
For the soul to ride it in comfort

9. The elephant counted it a blessing
And ordered the poet to climb

10. So he rode the back without hesitation
Until when there was no space left

11. He relieved himself on what is not mentioned
And inserted his finger to check

12. So the elephant blamed the mosquito and was disturbed
And tightened the hole and slapped with his tail

13. So the blow landed on the blind man
And he joined his noble sister

14. And the seer descended in sorrow
Complaining to the elephant about the mishap

15. But he said there is no cause for regret
Thanks to God for safety

16. He who has this affliction in his eyes
Then blindness for himself is protection
