1. I said to the treacherous land, what is it
That you have created unlike any other land?

2. You cast down the king of the land from his saddle
And he was nearly swallowed by seven lions.

3. It said, Refuge is sought in God that I would seek
Corruption of one in whom lies the reform of worshippers.

4. But it was an instant when he came upon me
And I escaped getting what I wanted from kissing him.

5. I intended that the sun set its feet
But I could not bear except the pace of the steed.
