1. When will I see fate turn its course
To what was once familiar and expected

2. How much do I see all that is blameworthy yet I do not see
Among people forever anything praiseworthy

3. She said, I see you worried, never leaving you
So I said, my worry is because I remained exhausted

4. If you want honor without disgrace accompanying it
Then sever any rope that has been extended by greed

5. Take in any way you wish from all regions
And seek sustenance, desired and found

6. For you will not take except what you were preceded with
Nor exchange the predetermined for another predetermined

7. The trusted ones have passed away, no eye or trace
And they were led into death's meadows as sacrificial offerings

8. And they became like chaff that spent the night in hides
Blown by storms of adversity into sand dunes

9. So why should I care, now that I have parted from them stingily
Out of fate's stinginess in benefit and generosity

10. And I do not join my hands with others
Nor love anyone of the people as loved ones

11. And I do not fear for those after them
Misfortune or fortune, whiteness or blackness
