1. Saturn has risen above Jupiter
So evil among us is dominant

2. And neither Mars nor Mercury remain
To spare you from agony and plunder

3. How many things you sought that are beyond reach
Blessed is God who deluded you with seeking

4. Have you not seen men after their drinking
Happy to be served wine from jugs?

5. I did not trust my time in its course
That it would shift the kingdom from Egypt to Aleppo
