1. Greet the abode and its people
And slow down, tell the rusher to wait

2. My love of wine since I indulged in it
Has left me no merit in anything else

3. I called upon a man to help my need
Of pure generosity and innate nobility

4. With it great spirits reached
The highest of ranks, distinct from the rest

5. It finds sincerity in others merely a façade
And sees it as intrinsic to itself

6. So precede, O servant of God, with it
And make it an investment for your future generations

7. Speak to your brother, excellence itself speaks
And let its goodness reach me as it did reach

8. With you I connected high hopes
From afar, for you were a kindred spirit to me

9. And when you connect hopes with a reasonable man
The outcome of your words will be action
