1. Stand upright, be patient, endure injustice and harm
For you are human, and humanity descends from Adam

2. Fate has destined you to resent and suffer this world's injustice
Can you prevent injustice when it is fate's own judgement?

3. O children of Adam! How easily vain glory has misled you!
Until its ambitions have made it your ruler

4. You fancy the earth was spread out here just for you
And drifting clouds made, just for your sake, to roam

5. You think the stars shine as mere decoration
To delight your eyes - yet all this is transient

6. Why then don't you make these ornaments your necklaces?
To adorn yourselves at dawn with glittering jewels?
