1. On the likes of your head the pine tree slipped,
And time turned against us and was overturned.

2. When we desire, we see the affliction
With our eyes and hear the wonders.

3. The treasures of your early fathers
You squandered in frivolous games,

4. And you surrendered their authority when it
Came to you in torn books.

5. Why then are you not counted among the generous?
And the rule of Khorasan is something you grant freely.
