1. I see between me and a group
Of people in this age that gathered us

2. They worshipped customs, never violating them
Even if they suffered loss and injustice from them

3. And I see that violating its veil
Is easy for one with wisdom that probed the universe

4. And I reward a person in kind for their deed
So I give them in the same weight they gave me

5. So in my eyes they have insult if they insulted me
And in my eyes they have good praise if they praised

6. So I repay with my kindness those who were kind
And I criticize those who came to slander me

7. And in this, if a fair one contemplates
I follow a path in nature already paved

8. And I do not care if many were good
To my affairs out of belief or suspected me
