1. Say to the son of smoke, when you come to him
And his face glistens from the soot

2. In the staff of his mother a slave, even if he
Was multiples of what is in Surat Al-Zukhruf

3. And slap the nape of humiliation, even if he
Between the nape of the priest and the bishop

4. Time has enabled you to take the lead
So stick to them safely and discreetly

5. The office has been emptied of a watcher for you
With a vigilant determination and overseer

6. So gain and collect and store and hoard
And steal and betray and grab and snatch and pilfer

7. And take advantage of the opportunity before
The Gospel is raised by the Scripture

8. This is the smoke of poetry I have sent
To the smoke of the foolish torch
