He traveled, seeking his panegyrists with gifts,
He went seeking praise from God
heading to Najd one year, and to Iraq another.
A helper year after year exhausted

He did not require them to journey to him;
He did not burden them with a journey to Him
indeed, the best water is that which need not be drawn.
Indeed, the best water is that which is not drawn

So you see the couriers bound for his panegyrists,
So you see the coldness to his praiser
in groups, bearing his bounty and gifts.
His wrists and temples cracked
