1. The eyes of the living shed tears for their home
Unless they take refuge in mighty warriors

2. With polished swords unsheathed by the polishers
With unrelenting, pitiless blades

3. With a raid that dons the garb of dawn
The cloak of the dark, gloomy night

4. Savage, with no defender to provide aid
No fugitive escapes unharmed

5. Unjust in stabbing, gloomy in darkness
Mixing the piety of the people with sin

6. God's horses stir up the battlefield
With every valiant warrior engaged in the fray

7. On steeds like furious wolves
Some charging with spears, others resolute

8. Until Kusbtal was defeated by us
And the bird of prey humbled

9. And tranquility returned to our abode
Embracing the gentle, peaceful home

10. The prey submitted to the blows of the archers
And the defeated surrendered to the victors

11. We show generosity to the generous among them
Regaining the spoils from the despoilers

12. I subdue rage and you say “How excellent!”
Marveling at the cheerful sayer

13. I rise above the influence of the slanderers' talk
So I do not fear the foolish insult

14. If the stars were stoned by people's hands
No hand could ever destroy them

15. When ignorance spreads its clamor
I meet it with the sheathed sword of speech

16. I turn a deaf ear to it, paying no heed
Except to the words of the knowing King

17. As the trusted ear disregarded base gossip
Listening only to the religion's oath

18. The killer who fulfills his duty with good
The carrier of others' burdens

19. The rainer of generosity from his palm
Quenching every thirsty soul

20. The giver of abundance when asked
Is neither condescending nor regretful

21. The striker of necks with his judgments
When the sword calls for the blamer

22. Some of their noble traits confuse
The servant for the master
