1. I believe in the One God, and avoid
Evil ways when oppressed is the creditor

2. By my life, I have fooled myself for a while
And believed things about one who is owing

3. The world has betrayed me time and again
Only the treacherous are blamed for their treason

4. With false hopes I justify a misguided heart
As if I'm not aware that I have been disloyal

5. An astrologer tells us of what will come
But only God knows what is destined to happen

6. And recalls the adversities of fate
In which era were constellations ever constant?

7. I see the White Fort, its palaces are deserted
And the dynasties of kings could not withstand

8. Their fleeting pleasures caused their downfall
As did the treason of the treacherous and vain

9. We rode the ages as time is tumultuous
Those ships did not endure the waves serene

10. Some people have praised progeny yet
The evils of family are often unseen

11. Sincere comrades multiplied the number of a lad
Then with truth became targets for arrows keen

12. Calamities bring deaths as if
The souls of the innocent are hostage therein

13. In records of documents a timid one
Has consigned his death, for man's end is destined

14. He begrudges her the precious adornments
While the valued corpses are buried unseen

15. He fears when the earth covers her
That another of treacherous men will disinter

16. The generous protect honor with wealth, striving
While the ignoble pawn honor for riches obscene

17. When you find a sponger criticizing generosity
Blame the miserly face that is debased and unclean
