1. Life and death and awaiting resurrection
Three things that brought us thousands of meanings

2. So do not let this world delude you, it
Will leave its people in miserable separation

3. Do not seek it through swords and spears
With days of fighting or days of stabbing

4. And if you both wish to be rid of its troubles
Unburden yourselves and follow me

5. It did not trouble me, no unjust attack
Nor did I shy from guiding it aright

6. My secret was never revealed to any listening ear
Whether with lips or ears listening

7. I did not watch the two eagles in the darkness of night
I imagined both grasped in each hand

8. I wondered at the brilliant dawn and its opposite
Shining on the people of this earth

9. And they forced me out against my will
As if there was no room for me between them

10. How could I hope for good from them
When between them I was torn by beasts

11. He who equated them in his reasoning was no kin
No, they are vicious beasts

12. None ever died just once between them
Like two adversaries devouring souls

13. They turned away and said, “You are lost, we have no place”
And laid me to rest in a narrow grave

14. Capricorn and Mars are subjugated slaves
I do not care if they have abandoned me

15. Had the Shaper of stars wished with His subtlety
He could have made them like Jupiter and called me

16. Can the Master of Decree invert this creation?
Perhaps fate and fortune may convene
