1. O seeker from his neighbor a drink
This tells your hunger has flared

2. And indicates you've abandoned remedy
And indicates you've neglected treatment

3. And tasked the slave, preferring his food
Forever, and refused health and balance

4. Fear food not moderate in strength
And beware a meal that spoils the temperament

5. Alas, you don't consider railing as nature
In its vileness, the lion of meanness roared

6. And man is struck by his mouth and loins
So his resort is the bitter drinks

7. It's as if you've cast off the wise one
And headed in his wake the reckless one

8. And befriended a butcher of fine meat
And served the untiring poultryman

9. And opened the door of dissipation to let in
Into the religion of every greedy pack

10. And swallowed like a gulper the excess gruel
And drank from the water of vinegar undiluted

11. And became like a pregnant woman whose fetus is waste
That comes to her in the morning rotten
