1. Enmity has not ceased
In the heart of the cruel one

2. Like embers, the glow of enmity
Lies hidden in cruelty's heart

3. This one stirs up its violence
And that one stirs up hostility

4. Do not expect sincerity
Ever from the envious ones

5. The envious show you what
You desire, yet hide malice

6. Envy has gnawed at the assembly
Since it attained glory

7. People are like birds, some
Nightingales, others wild birds

8. Evil is bitter, even if
Its beginnings seem sweet

9. Humiliation lies with the vulgar
And dignity with the nomads

10. One who did not attain his purpose
In the folly of youth

11. A freeman remains free, unchanged
Is the essence of his nobility

12. Glory to Him in Whose hands lie
The decrees of fortune and misery
