1. O ancient temple of love
And the most sacred of sanctuaries

2. Love is an eternal Lord
Whose prayers are answered

3. With many worshippers and a frequent descent
His revelation fills scriptures

4. And every land has a temple
With wide courtyards for His worshippers

5. If only He who created the worlds
Would end with a frown

6. For death in old age
Is a hated, worst torture

7. Oh how I wish my upbringing and growth
Were like a butterfly or a speck

8. So I die without yearning
Or gloom and turmoil

9. Life after youth
Is sorrow that weeps for youth

10. Leave wishes and if only’s
For those who hope in both have failed

11. People pass like debris
And turn to dust

12. O universe do not end mankind
For tomorrow you will turn to ruin

13. Indeed that which is made from mist
Will vanish like the mist

14. Do not cry over the universe's greed
For its people are like wolves

15. Hunting and tearing apart those
Who have no dogs left by eventide
