1. With your livelihood, have you been rewarded for rhymes
Without striving, or was it fruitless for you?

2. Your reward from a generous one or a miser
Was your poetry delicate or coarse?

3. Words will not avail you anything
If they do not kill hopes in you

4. And oftentimes a people may confer upon you
As though you have become their king

5. When you send out a rhyme aimlessly
You have awakened suspicions in people

6. It may be worn out by a fool claiming it
If you get angry at that, he will claim you
