1. The drums were beaten by the drummers
While each was busy with their own affairs

2. Each passing day enriches the dignified
And in its wake follows the sublime

3. And one who is unworthy sells the furniture
Driven by greed and avarice

4. What was once little of the country's wealth
After a year even that little is gone

5. The cash and real estate are all gone
O elite of the country where are your minds

6. If wealth was as you claimed
Alchemy would not be impossible

7. Some envy others for their gains
Envy that kills you all

8. He who seeks ruin earnestly
Ruin is that eager path

9. In it is a lesson if you understood
After ascension comes only descent

10. Between wealth and poverty is only
A phrase of ill omen said by a mediator
