1. Does the creator of souls, the just one
Allow beauty to disappear before dawn?

2. Does the just one allow a heart to be seen as desperate
While the wine of hearts is in cups?

3. Does the just one allow eyes
To wander in darkness with oil in the lamp?

4. If you forbid birds their sky
Why then did you create the wing's feather?

5. And his eyes roamed upon the green dusk
Then landed upon a farmer

6. Who tills the earth calmly and peacefully
And rips the darkness like a surgeon

7. He said blessed is he and blessed is his soul
How sweet is the purity in the water of his cup

8. How dear are the plants around his canals
And how rich is he in his poverty

9. He sees nothing but his field when dawn breaks
Or when evening comes, nothing but his own company

10. Ignorant, he ignores reading books
Yet he is wise with his axe

11. His tomorrow is like his day, no misery befalls him
And his day is like his yesterday
