1. Your ropes have become ragged, O Summya
And separation has corrupted your love and wrought havoc

2. Many a night I have lain awake while my eyes
Tasted naught but tears and wakefulness

3. And I see love still holds firm
While your love for me in passion comes to pieces

4. You made me drink a cup of parting bitterly
When you descended, contention and strife

5. You asked after me since the daughter of ____ and I
Am freeing myself of joy threefold

6. I sought help from love in my despair
And found in the Bountiful Helper, aid

7. A king, when kings break their word, you will see him
Neither violating a promise nor being unfaithful

8. A noble, when the destitute stand at his door
Gives wealth, and when appealed to for help, gives aid

9. And when the champions join in battle, you will see him
Still battle and slay the foe threefold

10. He buries the swords in the chests of his enemies
As though they were created for this purpose

11. The foremost of kings, the best of lords
Who dons the mantle upon both shoulders

12. Of a people who inherited glory and bequeathed
To those they left behind that inheritance

13. O you, whose company we enjoyed because
He spends the evening bestowing kindness

14. Your hands have brought about at my place gifts
That have enriched me, so events suffice me

15. And through you fresh wealth was renewed for me
Blessings, though before that it was ruins

16. And the land remains not barren of vegetation
Until it is hit with rains and helped

17. So I will thank you with the gratitude of one
Whom you have satisfied with ample wealth, position and furniture

18. And I will compose your praise in excellent verse
Proudly, and into the ear of time murmuring
