1. Tell old age the hand of days is diligent
It purifies you and one is purified of ignorance

2. If I were like a firmly rooted mountain
Its weight would make me love that you climb upon my head

3. How can a person cut short the course of a lifetime
That is allotted to you while the Judge King preserves you

4. Neither can brooding prolong your grief
Nor soothsayers heal your affliction

5. When you were poured you were made to drink fervor bent over
From the downpour or henna that gives you to drink

6. One deluded by danger met you in danger
And you were worthier to meet him in fragrance

7. He recounts the traces of foolish past folk
And with shears in prosperity he troubles you

8. O God's dye who gave you protection
The dyes of some people cannot protect you
