1. The path of love, its beginning is infatuation
And its end is worries and reminders

2. You find lovers, their bodies
So emaciated by passion, if blown they would fly

3. Oh you powerless, who shows no mercy when able
And none of his life's joys are fulfilled

4. Look with your heart, for the eye is heedless
Of the truth, and know that it is hell

5. Pitch black, snarling with rage when kindled
For the unjust, it spares none and leaves none

6. Those who traded the Hereafter for worldly life
And misery for bliss, evil is what they purchased

7. Oh you distracted, though age reproaches you
What after the graying of hair do you still expect?

8. If death itself were not admonishment enough
It would deter you from all pleasures

9. You who are told what I say in initiation
Why not reject outright what you yourself initiated?
