1. The people have entrusted the vastness to you,
So go easy, O father of the army, on the people.

2. If there is a day of distress, it does not equate,
To prowess and courage.

3. If the year is arid, every person,
Finds you a provider of drink.

4. Your hand has known naught but generosity,
And the honorable and the cup.

5. Blessings feel estranged from their people,
Until you encounter them with affection.
