1. He is the full moon at its brightest time
He has healed all the wounds of misfortune

2. You were a gentle shade over us
Whether beneficent or doing good, you were like the crescent moon

3. And you filled us with radiant full moon
When the sea roared, it missed him

4. So it's no wonder it sheds tears
And we feel smaller with those who left

5. As long as I live, I will come to you a great king
And as long as fate keeps that sword sheathed

6. A sword that you have never unsheathed in anger
My friend in good and bad, what a great friend!

7. A brother who gave a little and gave plenty
And your peer was like a cave of the times

8. Too narrow for you to have a peer in it
Souls were ransomed for you, and through you

9. Found light in safety, when they were in darkness
You remained a refuge for the doomed

10. Avoiding harm and fulfilling all rewards
While others spread out carpets of consolation

11. And give patient listeners a dignified hearing
Fate has not diminished your numbers

12. When it takes a drop and leaves oceans
If glory did justice to your deaths

13. It would carve tombs for you in the heavens
Your life revived the withered hopes

14. And drew from generosity an ample back
