1. Between me and the prince there is an acquaintance
Which resembles in its state complete strangeness

2. I have need of him one day, and he has no need of me
And I have need of him for ten days

3. I wonder for what reason
He put me forward, then made me follow after

4. That is only because of one thing
In which his insight examined most keenly

5. So whoever wants ablution from impurity
Should begin with his back before his face
