1. If my delay from people is a duty
In your opinion, my Master, the opinion is right

2. Otherwise, hasten, my Prince, with what you see
Perhaps I will attain what I seek

3. For I am not inferior to others in what I know
Nor am I, in what I claim, ever a liar

4. Nor do you need to understand my story
To explain it in speech, and it is wonders

5. So by Allah, unless I fulfill the generous promise
A poor one for it from you is watching
