1. O beauty of literature's garden that is
An amusement for sights and minds

2. The forefathers of literature excelled in poetry
Composing like the prime compositions

3. Without doubt, poetry is the mark of eminence
And intellect the best of God's gifts

4. Alexander learned wisdoms not known
Even to the sage Luqman

5. And showed the nobles each virtue
That gladdens the hearts of nobles

6. To the extent that though they passed away
And all things pass, they won eternity

7. So theirs is the bliss of the eternal in a garden
With every luscious fruit paired
