1. My Lord, you are not like
Every faithful friend

2. How many a tongue has flattered me
With a hypocrite's heart

3. How can loyalty and affection grow
Except with one who agrees

4. You yearned with passion and inclined
Towards none but the true

5. At peace from the burning of
The lying, sweet-tasting friend

6. You alone, none other, are my love
Of all creation

7. No enemy sees me
Except with a thief's eye

8. Without you I'd not have won
A faithful heart

9. I am a master of generosity though
I'm a servant of the truthful

10. My abode will ever incline
Towards each knocking

11. In the darkness of sunset or
The glow of daybreak

12. With the clouds' lips revealing
The lightning's flashes

13. I startle the raven amidst
Lightning and thunder

14. With rain mixing hail
In swift, heavy showers

15. I was created for munificence
And made one with my Creator

16. Such is my nature, yet contrasting
The ways of man

17. I hoard wealth but to give
With hands that split the earth

18. And see my gathered riches
As blame toward my Sustainer

19. How honored were men if
Content with the truth

20. I have what will solace me
In direst straits

21. A steed overtakes the bolters
Born of the swift

22. Slim of ankle, his head
Like lightning's gleam

23. Smooth as a dragonfly, grasping
The glance of maidens' eyes

24. With him I challenge fate
In the lead of racers

25. The day stallions were yoked, prancing
In thrilling gallops

26. Their heads aloof from
The sway of litters

27. I ascend the peak of glory
In the prime of youth
