1. Each moves through life not knowing
To which stage he goes,

2. And strange that we in ignorance
Build, though each building falls.

3. Man resents, then approves what Fate
Ordains that Time create or waste.

4. And the food of eternity he enjoys
Though it be as poison mixed with dove's blood.

5. And Time advances with succession of ages
So ages pass distraught with calamities.

6. Al-Qaridh recalls Rabia Bin Mukaddam
Though Rabia and Mukaddam be forgot.

7. We seek a world, and none but the wrecked in her
Has business in her, and remains with purpose damned.

8. It was abased, after honor, served without reward
And exposed itself being insulted to serve.

9. I waste my days without regret,
And miss the easiest things to later regret.

10. The youth refused gently so committed outrageous sins
And protected the small water skins but blood was shed.

11. Our fresh life is youth, so if it passes
Our shirts are patched clothes.

12. The body is liable to disasters
As if it defers or hastens them.
