1. They said Basilie the youth is infatuated
With a second palace of Turkish lineage

2. So I said he loved the one with a generous spirit
Who excelled in all nobleness, Arab or Persian

3. A mustard seed from his hand in the East
Worth more than all the gold in the West

4. No wonder the honorable Basilie was captivated by her
With a rank above all ranks

5. For his father Ata Allah showed him
That contentment is an unhidden treasure

6. O star of glory, be well and savor its sweetness
And name it, O youth, the first fruits of delight

7. Or the mail your Lord sends
Heralding the coming of success and profit

8. For you are the one whom the Merciful distinguished
With wisdom, knowledge, kindness and finesse

9. May his fine virtues in their splendor
Rise above the seven planets like shooting stars
