1. God did not honor the children of Adam
When the lowliest of them became eternal.

2. By God, even if they were made eternal
Until the endless eternity passed away,

3. And good deeds were made their vehicle
And the sea wherever the traveler went,

4. And they subdued the jinn who then obeyed them
And the defiant and rebellious submitted,

5. And time became their retainer
As though it was his child and birth,

6. And destinies became equal in distribution
So none envied or were envious,

7. And there was no illness or disability
And life was pure its drinking cool,

8. And the world remained ever verdant for them
As though it was a compliant maiden,

9. They were not burdened with gratitude though it embraced them,
And the wretched ingrate was but one.
