1. They said the nobles praised you,
And from their prayers you reaped blessings galore;

2. Yet to the best religion you came dancing, radiant,
For only its virtues make you worth more.

3. Why did you hesitate to pay her price?
Why fail to fulfil love’s sacred laws?

4. I said: My Lord, success comes slow sometimes,
The clouds seem slow, but with water their cores.
