1. If you wish for ease and tranquility
Then live in the wilderness, inactive

2. And have no hope in people's nature
But place your hope in the Almighty

3. And be kind to the young so they say
We were treated with goodness

4. For if the children of dignitaries are taught well
One day they will become perfect men

5. They aspired to rule but were unripe
And returned to the burdens bearers

6. Do not show your enmity to a people
Who befriended you in life

7. Do not settle for being called companions
And fraternize with relatives lazily

8. For judges have become biased
With just a glance, unjust

9. Perhaps people on earth reap
What they were sowing long ago
