1. O lion, o son of valor, you have tread
The crafty hyena sings in the likes of it, the lion

2. And in you are traits of its morals
Commendable which no one dispraises

3. Neither deceit from it but bravery and
Help at preservation and endurance

4. For you are a day for a hopeful and a tomorrow
And you are a day for a fearful and tomorrow

5. True is my assumption of you if
My assumptions were evil and numbers failed

6. Do not leave the harm of Abu Hasan
Who tilts my throne while you are my support

7. So you have not ceased at every injustice
Darkness whitens from your hands the hand
