And death brings wealth, glory to He who ordained them

2. If life were fair, its company would not be blamed
We were not betrayed, but life itself betrayed us

4. Or is every young man of Eve's progeny
Endowed with outstretched hope that makes him forget?

5. O companion, my legs have numbed, so I complain of them
Yet I have not stopped, while in the wilderness, complaining of numbness

6. A night of misguidance, no lights to illuminate it
So the caravan stumbles in its deceptive darkness

7. Do not come near my wall that I wanted
As an illness to be seen, but a drink stored in the wall

8. She was married off to a full moon, while her dowry
Was but a dinar, as she used to live in a ruin

9. Goodness is rare like shooting stars, so we recognize it
And it is not measured by one instance if it is rare

10. How many grievous tribulations there are in days
Were it not for pigeons, they would all be devastated
