1. O seeker of honor, fulfill your requests
And beware of provoking Him to anger

2. Write well, to be safe from reproach
Writing remains for years after its writer

3. While the writer lies buried underground
The soldiers of death have unsheathed their claws

4. And made evident, O youth, their reproach
So call on God and say if you seek Him

5. “O Lord forgive the servant who wrote this”
O reader of fortune, say with God “Amen”

6. So call on God, hopefully you will attain righteousness
For whoever called on Him was not disappointed in adversity

7. Supplicate Him abundantly during calamities
Say “Amen”, I am not pleased with just one

8. Until I add to it a thousand more “Amens”
