Our sultan today is a child, and the grandees are in
Our sultan today is a child, and the elders are behind
discord; among them Satan has stirred up strife.
Him, with the devil inciting between them.

أَنْ يبلغَ السُّؤْلَ والسلطانُ ما بلغا
So how can one afflicted by injustice hope
So how can one touched by darkness hope
to attain his wish, when the sultan has not attained maturity?
To attain what the sultan and his elders have not reached?
