1. As if you are asleep, unaware of the tricks of fate,
Yet have no faith in the watchful stars.

2. Soon a conqueror will march on Persia's fires
And extinguish them, while Mars sleeps in the eye.

3. Never did his days smile with joy,
But rather he avoided, while breasts held grudges.

4. Shall I spend my soul falsely for God
To join the righteous, while God judges?

5. My person and my soul are like a child and mother
For that one's hand binds them fast.

6. They die together like two gazers meeting,
So neither is lost nor the other bereft.

7. Had our hearts accepted the king's command,
They would not have accepted it in the dormant dark.
