1. My poetry, though glory adorns it with pearls,
Is but a tenth of what you have encompassed, so forgive me.

2. I know my sin, though when I recite, they say
I am the most eloquent poet.

3. I am awed by the opposites of your generosity,
That in you are combined both odd and even.

4. You are a sun, you are a shining full moon,
Not just anyone who wishes can be a sun or moon.

5. And they say there is a sea on earth -
They lie, none but your palm is a sea.

6. They have not seen your palm scattering pearls
And treasures when it begins to rain and hail.

7. I have filled the sky with prayers to you
And filled the lands and earth with thanks.
