Say to the emir, brother of generosity
Tell the prince, my brother of dew
And of bounty raining down upon poets and petitioners:
And downpour of inspiration for poets and archers

May you never cease to overpower your foes
You still violate justice
With the slender, quivering spear in their entrails and livers.
With the withered honey in our hearts and livers
