1. I have excelled in prose and verse
With words that belittle the guarded pearl in its grandeur

2. And I have supported with pleasing meaning
Quench with it whom you wish of us and muzzle him

3. And I have fulfilled the right of the kingdom with service
That the train of resolve has cast off from the leg of its determination

4. If you claim that loyalty is a disgrace to it
Then disgrace, when honor is the cousin of its uncle

5. I say to you a thousand times, O you who cry out
From which the war of fate is called by its peace

6. And who, O son of nobles, deviates
From the allegiance of one whose rule brings people together

7. And what place does forbearance have with him? And if this flows
To Luqman, he would not be supported by his forbearance

8. If he deviates from what I make him constant in
