1. The people may be fair to their leader in some matters
And if they could find fault, they would find fault

2. They were not able to face him with any evil
In speech, so when he was absent they found fault

3. They spoke of his hidden weaknesses
And faced him with reverence, in awe of him

4. And how much they intended harm for him in days of misfortune
From time, but they did not reach him

5. When his good fortune waned, they blamed him
And if abundance had continued, they would have visited and turned to him

6. Have a little patience, for death will take him
And nothing remains - neither hawk nor toes

7. The sons of Eve answered the call of the rich man out of greed
And if a poor man called them, they would not answer him
