1. O steed of women, how many horsemen have fallen
At your hooves, you have only given birth to graves

2. Whoever desires survival while still a lover
Must ready their heart to be patient

3. If the wise Thabit had known what I knew
He would have called the harm of life disgraceful ruin

4. You see nothing in time except a slain man
Or a captive bound for his waiting tomb

5. People crossed over a bridge ahead of me
And I remained, not wanting to pass over

6. God, creator of nations, inspired the poets
Humiliation and crossing over with poetry

7. The pious mother loves David
And David loves the world, reciting psalms

8. We all bear witness, God leads everyone
Hoping with weak opinion to pass over

9. We have experienced, so how can one be fooled
By what we have already known well
