1. Your generosity is plenty compared to
What you are naturally inclined to give, just a trickle.

2. And a trickle of your giving to one
Who gives freely to all people is a flood.

3. So whoever seeks more from you finds a way,
And whoever is content is content with the good in it.

4. And I have an ambition whose length
And breadth, your palms encompass an ocean.

5. You had promised abundant gifts,
And given me hope of a torrent from you, a few drops.

6. And for your support when the new moon appeared
Like a full moon that had just developed from it.

7. So fulfill the promises you emphasized,
For evening has passed and morning has passed.

8. And do not disappoint me, for prevarication -
No matter what - is "Alas!" and "Oh!" and a vow.

9. Does one break a promise whose words
Are a covenant? Thus, breaking is betrayal.

10. The generous man delays his promises -
Trusting he will not fail in what is better.

11. Delay will not be denied, especially
For one whose lifetime is ebb and flow.

12. And if death had promised me about you
Its promises would become void and false.
