1. The leader knew, and I do not say this in conjecture
That the candidates with their efforts gain these ambitions

2. This mirage shows shapes to the onlooker
But close by they will dissipate and be exhausted

3. And mankind is a type that no one individual embodies
All bodies are descended from dust through their ancestry

4. And all that glistens with its hidden inside
If tasted, is savory, so what other than bitter sustenance do you gain?

5. And Egypt, teeming with people, will become empty
And space, once accommodating, will be too crowded to inhabit
