1. The scouts of ruin have warned one another, so
A man's brother is he who protects him and agrees with him

2. Yet you have fallen in the days of dogs, while others
Have been allowed their booty and forbidden pleasures

3. So which unlucky day was it when we were not
The sons of our uncle, his repeated onslaughts and his resolves?

4. We are still leaders of our people's affairs
Good fortune and ill fortune depend on us

5. We reward good with good to its people
And evil with evil until the evildoer is sated with evil
