الملك

The king

Listen up and know whom you are talking to, I am the great king of earth, I own all this world from east to west. Yes it is true, that I am penniless but I pray and say Amen, I don't have an army nor do I want to live like Sheharyar*

But there is water, there is air, there are the stars and the sky, I also have good people around, I feel their pain, I have patience and faith and I will never be a chicken.

I have friends, always there for me, standing by me everywhere, my girl loves me for who I am, she is not looking for money or power. If one day I fall down, I stand up again and continue.I have a dream that lives in me and talks to me.

I have water, I have air, I have stars and the sky, I have good people around me, I feel their pain, I have patience and faith and I will never be a chicken.

Sometimes I feel lonely and afraid.

I feel like I am walking in the road but in the wrong way.

But I can see and I know

I see light at the end of my tunnel

and I am not the push over type

even if I didn't not reach anything, still fine by me

I will go on with my life and I will be fine

I have water, I have air, I have stars and the sky, I have kind people around me, I feel their pain, I have patience and faith and I will never be a chicken.

It does not mean that, I don't know the exact English expression to describe it. You know. when there is a one way road and someone is moving against this one way direction, how do they call it? :D I don't know but he want to say something like he is not going with the flow.

how about 'I am walking on the road but not following the/going with the crowd'?

Thanks for the translation. That was amazing.
The Shahriar word was created by combining two words: Shahr and Yar. The Shahr means the city or in some cases, even land, and the Yar means someone who helps. So, the Shahriar means someone who helps the city (land). Based on the kings' role in a country, Shahriar used to address kings.
