1. O Gibbon, peace be upon you
O father of genius and acrobat

2. How can your cubs be content
Frolicking in the zoo

3. Play now and wait after an era
You will rise in the ladder of progress and ascend

4. How did you not climb the stairs in one leap
O climber who does not tire

5. O dean of the arts, patience and go slowly
And be content with cheers and jubilation

6. Welcome, welcome, hello and welcome
And the gifts are dates and beans

7. Wait my friend gradually
You cook all the food with your hands

8. Except I fear what was raw
Would avail you in both cases

9. Wait my friend a million years
Or millions, I swear I do not know

10. If you come near my place after that
The end result is you still do not know

11. And be patient if prose and verse
You will recite prose and compose poetry

12. And tomorrow imagination will leap and rise
And the arms cannot bear leaping

13. And the beauty of faces you will see
In the mirrors after the long circumambulation

14. Its beauty will be sweet in your eyes
So prepare for hugging and kissing

15. And if you study the rhythms of dance
For after all, dance is imprinted in you

16. Can you attain perfection after deficiency
If the idea lessens you, not the arm

17. You are a cage, spacious indeed
Than the space we imprison captives

18. We are lost in it, and alas we are not guided
And the stars of the sky confused in it

19. Wait, you will understand the thing by name
After drawing, and hidden after state

20. So if you seek the inner understanding
My friend, you seek the impossible

21. Where yesterday were you when we started
And met Adam on the road

22. We reached, so where do you reach, where do we
When you follow after us, my friend

23. God, play and laugh as much as you like
You are the child of time, and the child is naive

24. You will cry sadly and laugh sadly
When an era passes and an era comes
