1. Alas, they thrust their spears with no good intent,
So cursed are horses in battle that do not chase.

2. They conspired saying, an ascetic and son of an ascetic,
When he is but a rebel and son of a rebel.

3. The interpreter of stars kept mentioning,
An imam like a star in the gloomy darkness.

4. None can unite the dispersed except the refined one,
Among the people, kept aloof above the aloof.

5. When he attains what he hopes from Saturn, whose
Evil appeared, he wants not from Mercury.

6. If there is felicity in the world, it is only
Little, like the rarity of scattered remnants.

7. I see murkiness has covered all the springs,
So die or drink from the foulest of springs.
