1. He is the revolving sphere its Lord has set spinning
As you see before the spheres begin their spinning

2. To Him belongs all might no one shares His kingdom
So ignorant is man to say "The kingdom is mine"

3. And his days are threaded in the thread of his life
No thread remains when the wire has reached its end

4. We're not made forever but to wane and perish
We live a little then death comes to finish

5. Like starving steeds that time wears out their bridles
In rage their teeth are worn by the fixed cheekpiece
