1. If you try to parasite
Be in that a professor

2. Indeed, make it a parasite
Of elegant limit, penetrating

3. Like Solomon's parasite
Upon the princess of Baghdad

4. Exalted is Allah, how resolute
He was in parasitism, O this one

5. Feed on the biography of the hopeful
For parasitism, feed

6. And leave Tabaristan
To the Daylam wrathful

7. And when Baghdad came
I saw the people busybodies

8. He brought together no factions
And dispersed no dissenters

9. Nor aided whom hoped
Through him aid

10. Rather, he shared in the banquet
Pimps and wine-servers

11. Permitted the good wild joys
And ravished them and thighs

12. So in Baghdad are taverns
Rivaling Tiznabaza

13. Matters you would not approve
For us, O convent and hermitage
