1. Wounds bleeding, with no balm
Nor medicine to heal the wounds!

2. I lay down arms, but foes refuse,
Armoured as they are with arms' steel!

3. They cried out with bitter enmity
With swords' rule. With spears' rule!

4. They thought I was like birds' feathers
Facing raging winds in the air!

5. Nay, they were wrong, what a loss!
In ignorance challenging the Lord of winds!

6. I will hurl them into the abyss of misery
With no wings to match my might!

7. They will see the fearful evening
And won't see the dawn's light!

8. I will subjugate them with dignity
Curbing the haughty aggressor!

9. When stupidity possesses the enemy's mind
Bliss eludes him for good!

10. He walks to his doom cheerfully
And corruption dawns as good for him!

11. I hoped for noble peace
I never hoped for shameless discord!

12. For war is but destruction
Merciless, and blood made lawful!

13. The dignified knight shuns it
For its fervour is no joke

14. Many a gorgeous belle like a ray
When she saw me, dropped her veil!

15. I am no love-struck infatuated one
Crazed by worldly love and its anguish!

16. Nor by the wondrous wine of the moment
Whose intoxication faded at dawn..!

17. Rather, I am infatuated with poetry
Embroidering verse addressing yearning..!

18. It has a fragrance like the gardens' scent
Are their roses and tree-flowers better?!

19. How many gazelles have delighted my heart
And the wine-pourers charmed with songs' magic!

20. With poetry towering over all
All bow to it like rain-drenched desert!

21. True treasure sanctifying life's glory
As people revere the Holy Book's glory!

22. Beauty hasn't set me free
Nay.. I set beauty free!

23. If I fail in the world of relics
How many successes have failed!
