1. Neighbors complaining and delighted with their state
Like rain that weeps yet flashes with lightning

2. The ship owner's wealth came to the heirs and they divided it
And did not allocate a third share for him as allotted

3. They did not feed a poor person from it, nor gave charity
Nor expiated any oaths in his shares

4. He bequeathed but they did not accept from him, and he made covenants with them
Yet they opposed everything he outlined

5. And living is an illness, and a person's death is well-being
For his illness is decided by his person passing away

6. His breaths are like his steps, and his survival
Is a distance, so he perishes each time he inhales

7. The bodies are the abodes of souls, putrefying them
And multitudes of doves, so how many an abode did they ruin
