1. When they informed me where the rain was falling,
And directed me to be generous in giving,

2. I hastened though my reason did not hasten with me,
If only man would strive to seek excellence, O excellent one.

3. The stance of your doorkeepers appeared narrow to me,
So judge me to a steep path,

4. By which you judge with justice.
You have spoken well,

5. As you do well in action.
It is not proper for the likes of you

6. To be veiled from the likes of me.
