1. They chided me early for my solitude when they saw
That I remained without a single friend.

2. Why did you not seek the friendship of a companion
Who rises at the turns of time as an aider?

3. So I answered them, and truth champions itself,
Sincerity does not seek a witness over it.

4. The friend is a name for a meaning we have not found
Anyone seeking it in the wilds that attained it.

5. Who do I have but God, for He did not create them,
If I do not speak truth, then bring me just one.
