1. Hunger has reconciled the cat and mouse.
When misfortune befalls me, of what misfortune do I speak?

2. This one recovered from his illness for that one's sake,
Like two lovers walking together.

3. In adversity, grudges are forgotten,
And the envious are inclined to love and prefer others.

4. Had you seen them, you would have witnessed something amazing -
Did you not see them, though you did not hear the news?

5. This one in my kitchen is scorched,
That one in my pantry is burning.

6. I was too preoccupied by the cat's obsession with the mouse
To double my troubled thoughts.

7. In my house, when misfortune befell him,
He could barely stumble upon a crumb, not even a date.

8. They have no provisions in the home of their worldly life,
Nor in the home of their afterlife, except the noble host.
