1. Indeed, I disdain even the mention of marvels,

    at the horror of what the eye of my experience has witnessed.

  2. The ear of one seasoned by experience grows weary of truth;

    time has changed—what, then, of lies?

  3. Time toyed with me when I was a child and made me see,

    through thought, what graybeards’ eyes cannot see.

  4. I was recompensed for Jillaq in the land of Rūm, taking

    my valor there as recompense for every desired thing.

  5. One long absent appeared, and I said, “Which of you two is the feast?”

    when I beheld such beauty and such goodness.

  6. He turned my grief to joys and made me

    praise him throughout my long wandering and exile.
