1. Time does not cease from its events,
And man is led by the rule of his time.

2. So leave time be, for it has not relied
Upon its glory or lowness anyone.

3. Like the scales it has not specified -
With the benefit of its right side –

4. A horizon, nor chosen the harm of its storms.
But for its Maker there are hidden wisdoms

5. In the appearance of opposites among His creatures.
And I knew that effort is not fruitful

6. Unless fortune is among its helpers.
And seriousness without lightheartedness is not beneficial,

7. And a spear does not strike without its tip.
And the pleasure raised the son of Sumadah to kingship,

8. Then it let me down with its displeasure.
And it dropped my star from the sky of its loftiness,
