1. O you who are rejecting and hesitating
Give to the one seeking rain, without reluctance

2. When he who asks rain cannot find guidance
The rejecting one sought rain insistently

3. A leader whose battles brought
Ruin to the enemies, captives and death

4. If an approaching guest were to say
I bid you welcome and wish ease

5. I have opened up to him
What brings the guest comfort and lodging

6. He has no furnishings on the earth
Other than the face of one praying

7. Yet were it not for patience
That made the rugged path easy

8. You would not have found my eyes closed
Spending the night in sorrow's kohl
