1. The cycle of this land in one attire
The ends of our days and the beginnings

2. When people's ropes return worn out
But the sun's ropes do not wear out

3. The succession of some people is useless
And periods pass into decline and succession

4. The vagaries of time’s events are folly
While we are oblivious to what is proper

5. The environs of wounds and calamities remain
Environs I have tired with environments

6. An old and new star yearns for me
And past times are remembered, yearnings

7. Your cycling, O varying fate, so here is
The weight of a sunset that has no cycling

8. When you see the crying slave women
Seeking the living, they are seeking

9. And the length of time has made graceful
Delicate, with no length

10. A wolf howled, so I was alert to its snarling
Gently, the howlers are environments

11. When the saddles of steeds begin to wrap around
Taking us in pursuit of honor, they are wrappings

12. People are but like a shirt against him
Dangers orbit them and wrappings

13. An abundant night went astray with sedition
And aberrations were cheapened for the insomniacs

14. How can I scheme against a friend when
A needy enemy intending me harm obtains wrappings
