1. O you who plants the spear to establish a kingdom
Better than the negligent Christian ringing his bell

2. Your night grows darker into deeper darkness
What will be its end but daybreak

3. No wings flap in my brother's abode of devotion
Whatever he says is illumination itself

4. Our possessions through greed have no limit
How then can profits with God be hoped for

5. We are in the sea yet its ships did not rescue us
How the swimmer cuts apart lessons without heeding

6. We will be forgotten and become ghosts
In the farthest reaches of imagination

7. Time has changed so that if a lion starves
It is said jackals prowl amidst the people

8. A lion in fights yet in his dwellings
A dog feeding on the remnants of provisions

9. A carpenter drinks death due to his art
Just as the musk deer's slaughterer for its scent

10. He gives away gold if his friends are miserly
And hides secrets if his confidants divulge them
