1. The sons of Freigoun are a people with
The light of guidance and brilliance of noble blacks upon their faces,

2. As if they were created from aloes wood and height
While the rest of mankind is from clay and potsherds.

3. Whosoever meets them would say this is the best of them
In rank and most excellent of soul and wealth.

4. And if you compare them to the domains of the earth, they are
Pure water, while domains are like salts.

5. O questioner, what have you obtained from them?
Leave off questioning and arise and look upon my state.

6. Do you not see my state now, how it has settled
With them? Have you not seen my state during my wandering?

7. The auspicious king has granted me honor with his bird
And clothed me in a robe of favor.

8. And he produced from his right a sea that overflowed and crashed
Its bubbles above my thoughts and hopes.

9. If I am silent in thanks for his gifts
It is from inability, not neglect.
