1. Rain down pearls on the Sarandib mountains,
And may the springs of Tekrour overflow,

2. If I live, I'll not lack livelihood,
And if I die, I'll not lack a grave.

3. My ambition is that of kings,
And my soul is of a free man who sees humiliation as blasphemy.

4. And if I'm content with livelihood all my life,
Why would I visit Zaid and Amr?
