1. O eye shed tears other than outpouring
And cry for a rock that cannot suffice you as confidant

2. Be like an ostrich in the thickets of its exile
Or a shouter in the fronds of date palms, crying out

3. And cry over one exulting in youth thoughtlessly
When considerations are treated lightly, fickle

4. And the house of the guest when tempestuous
It throws with deaf crash, swift sinking, crumbling

5. The orphan's protector when harsh year descends
And in the rowboats anchored, steadfast, not arid
