1. The meadow's breeze softened in the dawn's eve
After the night passed with the friends in chatter

2. Nay, it is but a greeting of pure affection
From a noble, glorious, valiant man

3. By my father's life, indeed your kindness
Reached me, sweeter than triumph

4. O you whose loyalty like abundant rain quenched me
When people are watered during drought

5. You attained the sublime nature's cypress, pairing it
With eloquent tongue, like a goblet and lute in tune

6. When I examine souls themselves for morals
You compete therein with the highest rank

7. Upon you from me, a greeting that still
Has an obligation hopes fulfil at dawn
