1. He is surprised at my patience with
The great troubles I encounter

2. He says, why don't you complain? I said, when does
The blade complain of being sharpened?

3. A man who complains to one who cannot help
And shares what is in his soul with fools

4. My troubles have stopped me complaining to people
Since I am sick, and who can I complain to?

5. Knowing everything before I speak
Stops me complaining to God

6. I will stay silent with patience and acceptance
For I see patience as an unbroken sword
