Sol 5.6

  1. Disquiet the foe, now that you have attained a station

    that towers above all peers and equals.

  2. Had I been content with the Alid headship alone,

    I would have lowered my ambitions once I reached it.

  3. But I have a soul that yearns for that station

    beyond whose summit no lofty station lies.

  4. They said, “You have curbed your bounty,” though many a time

    through it you ground the faultfinders’ noses in the dust.

  5. Far from it! The grateful have grown few, and the one

    I loved has come to envy me my wealth.

  6. Where can I find one in whose hands benefactions flourish,

    so I may share with him the choicest of my wealth?
