1. I praised you sincerely, but to no avail,
So don't reproach me if I satirize you frankly.

2. When a praiser pleases you with lies,
You reward him. But if I censure, you ripen.

3. If you say I'm rude, while truthful,
My criticism of you was never crude.

4. Those of good conduct see no wrong
In one who shows a barren land as barren.

5. People are fooled by your fake façade.
So I unveil the fraud you've made.

6. In satirizing you I leave no hope for dreamers.
In judging you I leave no room for slanderers.

7. Those hoping in you are locked in confusion’s prison.
I free them from that jail with clear vision.

8. Oh, many a sleeper you robbed of sleep all night.
Who watched the dawn break through till daylight.

9. One who weaved poetry to you, his art gone astray,
You rewarded with deprivation for his array.
