1. Welcome to your power, German Caesar,
If your power only benefits the Sultan,

2. And blessed be his favor upon you if he thinks it worthy,
If you deserve the sweetness of favor.

3. I distracted him for a while with your deceitful words
I pledged to protect his sanctuary,

4. And to fiercely guard the honor of the Crescent
And the nation of the Quran.

5. You wandered the countries meeting
Love and honor everywhere.

6. Until you discovered the sources of his livelihood
And learned the extent of his kingdom and riches.

7. While others watch you jealously, longing
For a glance from your eye, deprived,

8. Your convoy left the homelands without returning
Until you heard the calls of homelands.

9. O German Caesar, we have lost
Our forts to the young Greek.

10. You forgot the covenant with the Imam that was secured -
This was not part of the plan.

11. Woe over the treasures you spent
On your impenetrable citadels.

12. Enough for the provisions of armies over
Two years with enemies on the battlefield!

13. The Ottomans were not pleased with your
Absurd tales and colors.

14. So you concluded with the houses of ancestors
This story on the second evening.

15. Return to your high throne and say:
This is my share of the Ottoman’s fate.

16. With my eloquence I gain
What I cannot gain by sword and fire.

17. If the Sultan heard my advice, your feet
Would never tread his land.
