1. O friend, none have become accustomed to praise
Except for leaders of the people, who are amazing

2. Why do I see the beloved king prevented
From doing good by one who refuses and hides away

3. A young son may excel while his father
Fails and the fathers were once excellent sons

4. So abstain from God’s prohibitions, even slightly
For how many yellow moons and white moons have passed you by

5. The soul is seized by denial and recognition
And every meaning has its negation and affirmation

6. Death is a long sleep that has no limit
And sleep is a short death, so it brings relief
