1. O Abu Salih, negligence has overcome the people
With negligence manifest in every noble one

2. If only the afflicted were ransomed with the afflicted
They stayed so the lost one would be ransomed with one who stayed

3. Oh, if only it were the greatest one, so our sky would be folded
For it and the earth would stretch with the stretch of leather

4. For death is but the life of every miser
And life is but the death of every despicable one
