1. Many a hopeful, ambitious for hope
Has time turned away from that hope

2. And a young man of an amazing state
Which has been stripped from him, and time circulates

3. How can man hope for power for decrepitude
While in reasons it is a hostage bound

4. Whenever a day passes, it's gone
That brings him closer to his end

5. Time has aimed at us its arrows
Afflictions that seek us after descending

6. It shoots us yet we see it not
The act of a shooter who shot prey and erred

7. The prey was hit yet encountered betrayal
So it shot confidently then killed

8. Thus is time commanded against us
It does not neglect if anything neglected
