1. An ignorant one described patience to me
With an empty mind, unaware of my worries and thoughts

2. At ease while my heart is not like his
No, nor is his time as oppressive as mine

3. He has no experience with worries, no compulsion
To patience through limitation and coercion

4. While I, through the tribulations of time
Drink patience in it from my fine patience

5. It has become my habit, so if the expanse of
The earth shrinks around me, my chest won't shrink from patience
