1. O friend, if you converse with another anxious
To guide you, striving for you both to be silent,

2. How often has death made the greedy one weep for what
Comes, so his eyelids relaxed and they both wept,

3. The two feet were purified not in guidance,
And his hands from what they seized were not purified,

4. And the soul doubted the certainty of the matter, and the
Two palms, when they attempted a garment, doubted,

5. They were not separated from their children except the cause of death
Clung to them until they were detached,

6. My burdened two lips did not heal, and yet I have
Two lips - the afflictions of livelihood have burdened them.
