1. I see you today, a sapling walking
With your hair above the days of yore

2. You were granted prophecy in meanings
Yet not near forty years of age

3. So adorn the crown of leadership after the sublime
As its forelocks adorned the forehead

4. This is the royal mace so be watchful
Of the realm of poetry and be trustworthy

5. It suffices you that your rain cloud is Ibn Hani
And that you have become his companion
