Ah, Hamid, some yearn for the pleasures here below Others yearn for The Prophet's Paradise to come; Ah, Hamid, take the cash and let the credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant drum .....
But helpless piece in the game He plays Upon this chequer-board of Nights and Days Hamid hither and thither moves, and checks ... and slays Then one by one, back in the Closet lays

Ah, Hamid, some yearn for the pleasures here below
Others yearn for The Prophet's Paradise to come;
Ah, Hamid, take the cash and let the credit go,
Nor heed the rumble of a distant drum
.....
But helpless piece in the game He plays
Upon this chequer-board of Nights and Days
Hamid hither and thither moves, and checks ... and slays
Then one by one, back in the Closet lays
