1. Though I keep silent, my lips do not betray
The smile I force though my tears flow away

2. My needs are many, I wish I could be
One who is wealthy, unknown completely

3. Wise patience oft turns to ignorant rage
As time's wheel turns and the world's ways change

4. Let us thank the vizier, our protector
Who saves us from harm and disaster

5. A noble youth, he shelters us all
From fate's injustice, misfortune's downfall

6. His friendship and grace are free flowing waters
The elixir of life in our darkest hours

7. He has glory and grace, a manner genteel
Far from each shame or anything unreal

8. Excellence leads him with no peer beside
If virtues were counted, he'd still preside
