1. I set out at dawn, Abu Ali
Seeking wisdom and a friendly ear

2. A river against the winds
That takes the sunset and sunrise

3. When the sun turns it yellow
It pours the water of creation on its waves

4. I stood by it, how many a dear friend
Compliments me with grace

5. Embers of youth in the branches until
The water gets lost in the blaze

6. So the horses stampede in the field of glory
Made for them beads of ruby

7. So have you at the end of musk, spilled
Its overflowing sealed liquor?
