1. Do you deny what sorrow there is in the wind?
Is it not just the echo of your lament in the darkness?

2. You stayed up while the people around you slept in the towns,
And your concerns separated eyelid from eyelid.

3. Beware, injustice looms heavily over us.
There is as much of it on the plateau as there is in the valley and in sorrow.

4. Do you rouse them with your breath among them
As the wind rouses the sails of ships?

5. Go slowly, O you who considers justice a blessing,
For injustice is only what the imagination conjures up.

6. And what is the place of people in it? Though they
Are diverse talents in intelligence and in skills.
