1. If you were sowing a land unknown to me
Or drinking wine then blame yourself

2. How often has fate mocked you on your right
And given the sword of guidance but confused you

3. It killed you gently while you were raging
By what you did and how many examples killed you

4. You rode a fancy horse and it threw its rider
If you had ridden another roan it would have carried you

5. You are called suns but they have no relation
Only the lamplighter so always avoid your desires

6. Universality is roving winds that blew
With insanity, and drunkenness a penetrating blindness confused you

7. Let your beauty be free of greed and stagnation
And make your darkness in attaining the heights their riding beast

8. You hoped for pleasures and singing for a time
But gained neither ease nor love's compliance your wish

9. You sent your camels ahead one day loaded
While your grandfather once grazed a small herd your possession

10. But the old man only gains more disgrace
So improve with piety your deeds

11. And give to one complaining of thirsty poverty
Some clothes and let a thirsty man drink of your water

12. Do not look longingly at this world and covet it
And turn to God who gave you success your sand dune

13. You never showed me anything about you but in summary
Yet to others you explained in detail your burdens

14. The world is a place of turmoil and its people
Are like wolves so protect yourself from them your luggage
