1. The full moon came to me weeping bashfully
I said "What has made you so sad, oh moon?"

2. It said "A gazelle came to outshine me
With its beauty, so my heart is torn"

3. I said "Kiss its dust hastily
And prostrate to it" It said "This is all nonsense

4. The stars of the sky have pledged allegiance to it
So I have no recourse or authority"
