1. You shed the veil of modesty with graying locks,
No excuse today could be accepted from you.

2. They said gray hair brings dignity to the youth,
Yet where is the dignity in this grayness?

3. The night of youth has faded from you,
Your sun heralds the yellowing.

4. I see you kept the company of delusion,
Dragging the tails of ignorant deception.

5. Do you not see the muddying of its clarity?
Your star has tilted, about to set.

6. How can you sleep with such recklessness,
While the sword of death sweeps heedlessly?

7. Had you feared the turning of fate,
You’d have been cautious even in sleep.

8. You crossed life’s phases of vigor
Without gaining any wisdom.

9. Straying from the path of truth,
Neglecting prayer, preferring trade.

10. Death has come to you, so prepare,
Either paradise or hellfire ahead.

11. How can you be at peace in this world,
Not knowing where your final rest may be?
