1. The raven saw the toil of the people,
And their bustle with the chirping bulbul.

2. Why do not the ears bustle for me like it?
What is the difference between its wing and my wing?

3. I am stronger and sharper of claw,
Yet people sleep unstirred by my praise.

4. Do I separate lovers from their beloved?
And embitter joys and delights?

5. How many things resemble marks,
Yet have no lasting place or peace.

6. Beauty lies not in forms and features.
The real secret is all in the spirit.

7. The voice is a blessing from the heavens, but
The heavens approve only what is good.

8. Fate has judged, so if you blame fate,
Take your complaint to the butcher's blade.
