Indeed, the vizier would not brook my hardship, so he led me—
The minister Abu Usrei has led me,
After a long, exhausting delay—into ruin.
After a long and weary absence, to return

He assigned me a modest allowance of twenty,
Twenty years have flowed under my official stamp,
And burdened me, despite my hardship, with a far-off journey.
Yet he has honored me along with Usrei, casting intent.
