1. When you cannot ward off grief,
Have patience for sorrow and count it as worship.

2. None gains comfort in life
Except a foolish man or one who feigns ignorance.

3. This life cheats us,
And we chase after it like a mirage.

4. Days alternate from morn till eve,
Leading us to demise little by little.

5. Are not our lives just dust
Waiting for dust on earth’s back?

6. You have split my heart in two
With what you wrote hastily, and I could not answer.

7. If only I could, I would have borne it all alone
And not let this harm touch you.

8. Others we console
Reminding them of reward when they forget.

9. If time treated any as badly as you,
The course for the likes of you is to treat it the same.
