1. The young girls blamed me in black attire,
Ignorantly saying, "Do you not see what you do?

2. You have wasted your wealth in frivolity, yet
The matter of frivolity is what has wholly led you astray."

3. I set up a howdah on a barren hill,
And birds swarmed the open plains.

4. With a polished sword I stripped
One who makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.

5. So that a successor may take a turn and thus learn
That I am one who is fooled by praise and so deceived.

6. Indeed, I apportion what I possess, thus making
A reward for the hereafter, and a world that benefits.
