1. God is greatest. Whatever merchandise I buy
Its market is soon struck by recession.

2. A body without a body lives on, and how much did it fold
Its years, yet no senility upon it.

3. You are thought to have religion, wealth,
And knowledge, so the envious are excited about you.

4. You have been depleted of the three, as if
Tatters have clothed you from the emptiness of evening gowns.

5. The blissful preoccupied you from its inhabitants of kingdoms
They were granted which the generous were deprived of, and they rested

6. They slept while you did not, and got what they sought
While you were incapable, and disorder was in the regime.

7. And among associates is one who stays as if
Securing the heart, assisting when assisting.

8. Their thoughts have waned and their
Spirits have condensed, as if they were bodies.

9. Carpets were laid out for them, and next to them
Were pillows and blankets, while next to you were no pillows.

10. Whoever gets fortune rejoices, and for him
Is honor, so the predators frightened his sheep.

11. If a gazelle of the wilderness claimed allegiance to him
The hunters would count him among their prey.
