1. You are confused, so which people will you follow?
Fortunes come and go, and each is ignorant by nature,

2. While a mother gets one-sixth, more compassionate
Than a daughter who gets half, or a bride who gets a quarter,

3. Calamities batter us down like raging camels,
While the earth consumes - will the hyena ever have enough?

4. As for your claims, they are now laughable,
And your soul will never be sated with its greed,

5. O wicked one who pretends to be an angel,
And, among a people, a cunning fox who pretends to be a lion,

6. How people resemble livestock gathered together
To the simple open plain by a herder,

7. If you were not the lead camel of a herd, you would resemble it;
Your weddings are ewes counted, and your son, a lamb
