1. If I had wanted to be a teacher
I would have been, but the ignorant learned

2. And he who has no useful ignorance
For people who see knowledge as money and coins

3. And a luxurious house and tattered clothes
And a pampered life and an exalted status

4. And my knowledge for the seeker of wealth is not essential
So for him, secretly I am not a treasure

5. If I had wanted to be a singer
I would have been, but the raven sang

6. And he who has no enjoyable sights
For people who see art as a covetous body

7. And a tamed composition with breasts and a harem
To quench hell and return steaming

8. And my art for the seeker of lust is not inspiring
So on his path, I am not known

9. If I had wanted to be a cleric
I would have been, but lies became clerical

10. And he who has no convincing proofs
For people who see ladders to heaven in religion

11. And a determined sword and an opinion made clerical
And a son put forward and sex made orderly

12. And my religion for the seeker of the lowly is not binding
So in its law, I am not a Muslim

13. If I had wanted to be a ruler
I would have been, but theft ruled

14. And he who has no useful politics
For people who see a star in politics

15. And I am not a supporter of bloodsuckers
So my leadership became a criminal act
