1. O Time, how fierce are your battles,
And how frequent are your calamities!

2. Why does not your tyranny cease,
Nor does your heart soften?

3. You have disobeyed me until indeed
You made me think that I love you.

4. O Time, what is my sin to you,
While my sin has increased in your sin?

5. Between me and you is He whom
My Lord and your Lord has wronged me.
