1. And a night when misfortunes were absent
And cups and goblets made their rounds

2. As if they were not worshipped by Magians
The stable mind of the young man was lost

3. As if he was bitten by a rabid one
And a dwelling he was used to residing in

4. Where the protected King was destroyed
In a garden in which branches blossomed

5. With gentle boughs that incline
As if when the fawn inclines

6. It was shaken by exile and oppression
To a young man, some of whose peers are wise

7. His love was mixed with souls
The caged bird praised him

8. And the peacock swaggered in his orchard
With suns rising in its feathers

9. O king, his envious enemies
And his foes are buried underneath the soil

10. He lived in pleasure without any troubles
Nor did misfortunes approach your happiness

11. For you are a planted seed of generosity
Pens and inkwells have affirmed

12. That you are the leader, not the follower
