1. I redeem my people whom I raised
Through my praise, though they raised no glory for reward

2. Indeed, your prayers made me disdain men
As the light of sun from Syria was never praised at dawn

3. I sent a glance faster than a drowsy glance
And the blowing winds regretted trailing it

4. The rose and ruby told of beauty and redness
Yet the carnelian was not pleased, nor was wine

5. I sent him in beauty a string as though
I seek from deputies that string as a debt

6. I vowed to cease riding lightning when he arrives
I fulfilled that vow when it came to me

7. The rhymes stood still for you as brides
So favour led them in their dowry a dowry
