1. Listen, the righteous have answered you
With what the misguided argue for their case

2. You have contended obstinately, after attaining the names,
So the fault-finders appeared

3. In your obstinacy, despite the attainment, there is a form
And after it, there is also anxiety

4. You became from it depressed and sad
It is balanced by its rhyming meter

5. And in a star that is seen, a sun disappears
After its rising, so there are the spent nights

6. And in the knowledge of lighthouses, at every
Daily time, for it the prayer is anticipated

7. And in a spouting fountain that showed yearning
Like a bereaved mother, for it daughters

8. But in your words there is some padding
And breaking that narrators are embarrassed by

9. To what no literate person is ignorant of
For him are the remaining righteous deeds

10. So it is strange you contend with me about prosody
And mangle rhymed prose, so what is the salvation
