1. Go to the teaching institute and strive
Attain whatever excellence and guidance you desire

2. And be characterized by good morals, my son
Meet your lessons with seriousness and patience

3. I was in oblivion whose claws stretched long
For a time, the lion's fierceness raged upon me

4. Until when God willed to lift it from me
He gifted me a blazing light from Him

5. So this loyal friend made the truth clear to me
I'll never forget his affection and favor eternally
