1. The rule remains supported on tent poles
Yet no pole can bear standing beneath it

2. How many a generation has departed while this land remains
Having never deviated from its pegs and poles

3. I lead a life of woe with woeful lives on camels
Can what I wish for be conveyed by the camel rider?

4. If people understood what calamity their sons bring
Thousands could be bought for a coin, yet they pull back
