1. This is an age where people are overly keen
On royal pomp and beggars' mien

2. Don't you know, may God reward you well
And increase your blessings, O son of Yaqtin

3. I want you for this world and its trifles
But not on Judgment Day, not for religion

4. For how long - I wonder, O son of Yaqtin
Shall I praise you for what you don't oblige

5. Greetings and glad tidings from a man
In your state cannot satisfy me
