The riding camels of his bounties roam free,
His bounteous ships do freely sail,
And the racing horses of his counsels gambol.
His lofty thoughts do proudly soar.

A youth whose generous deeds avail,
Strikes sparks for one seeking the fire of wealth.

He has a bounty whose door has never ceased
The wealth we crave. His open door
To open to our hopes as they come knocking.
Welcomes our dreams. When fate assails

When a man’s fate falls out with him,
A man, and ruins what he planned,
Then his bounty makes peace between the two.
His tactful wit makes all well again.
