They urged me to take the vizierate of Bust,
They urged me to take up a minister's post
and deemed it among the loftiest ranks.
And saw it as one of the highest ranks

I said, “I do not desire the vizierate of Bust;
I said, no I do not covet a minister's post
indeed, I have not yet grown weary of my life.”
For I have not yet wearied of my life
