I-XX
What
are the clothes,1 gold2
jewels3 and gems?4
Rows of slaves handsome, and gold waist femme?
Like God they ‘are free’5 from both worlds needs,
Is this not wealth which a skill’d man6 heeds.
1. Qumash, the clothing.
2. Nuqra, Silver (I used gold for poetic need).
3. La’l; a ruby, red jewel=
4. Guhr; gems.
5. Are free; Sans souci, unconcerned.
6. Here skilled man means a godly man, virtuous.
