1. Our life is reckless and wild,
None of its sons are wise and mild,

2. No man rides except a tyrant,
Who races to stir up strife reviled.

3. Their world is fire without heaven,
So people suffer torment piled,

4. Submitting to fate though grim,
Each takes what is dealt compiled.

5. Lord, when do I leave my world?
You know people well and wise.

6. The ruler, the ruled, the rich, the poor
And the safe alike meet their demise.

7. Pharaoh gained no joy from it
Nor did Moses the Exalted live serene.
