1. O master who has attained the highest ranks
And achieved perfection in the best way

2. Your opinion on this matter is sound, so
It has a quality that necessitates that it be loved

3. It was raised with the Nile until it grew
And became enormously fat

4. It feels no hardness in its body
So its teeth do not suffer wear

5. It melts like the kidney fat
When embers come near or draw close

6. You will enjoy it uncooked, and when cooked
You will behold its two states with wonder

7. The blades of knives are polished
And their glimmer is hidden in the cooking

8. It is as if the smoothness that has risen
And that tenderness that is in the tail

9. Are rolls of delicate cotton that
Show their fringed edges aflame

10. Oh, its beauty as it lies between the grates
Remaining entangled and writhing

11. Like the gleam of spearheads amid coats of mail
Swaying the towering knight’s arms

12. So take the initiative, for we are on the shore of the gulf
In a meadow dotted by clouds

13. In a state where the crescent has set
For if you are not present, it will not be pleasant
