1. O time, trap me and trap them,
Either with them or me to hellfire.

2. With them not me, for they are the dregs,
Inclined to them without them to misery.

3. You are vexed with life among them,
Vexed are the bewildered from the rock.

4. I have wasted their best and finest,
Then left me with the scoundrels.

5. If I recite poetry they laugh mockingly,
And I remain in their ignorance upon the scoundrels.

6. No caution from them in my knowledge,
With my wisdom of salvation and caution.

7. In the images of people who did not drink rain,
And how can the oppressors have rain?

8. Until when I tested their value,
I found them in measure like cattle.

9. My crime if I commit is binding upon me,
And if they commit by destiny and decree.

10. So there is no consideration in this talk,
Contrary to the Scripture and Tradition.
