1. I saw you devoid of beauty, gloomy,
Among people in an age devoid of beauty.

2. Do you hope for comfort, easy living and pleasure
While its thorns pierce the feet of the walker?

3. I am tired of treading the soft sands,
And its echo sprinkled with slender streams.

4. A day of purpose I fell short of purpose,
And a day of horsemanship its knights defeated me.

5. If my fortune and hers are not united,
Then the estranged have a respite.

6. When you do not rise above people in solitude,
You permit a slanderer whose tongue faults people.
