1. The book arrived, and I nearly died of joy
Kissing the hand of its messenger

2. As if I were a thirsty man who stumbled
Upon a spring, and my despair was quenched

3. And I think my Master was inspired by the words
Of one who composed verse and far-fetched interpretation

4. If horses were not yoked for the chase
There would be no joy in attaining the beloved after pursuit

5. You have always taken happiness as a companion
And glory as your home, and eternity as a friend

6. You are praised in pages
That are recited in the tongues of people chanting
