1. What good is the dawn light that I watch for,
When its light and the night's darkness are the same?

2. The night awakens my sorrows and reveals them
To the morning, while the night's adversity brings grief.

3. Illness ravages me, fever unleashed,
And misery blankets my frail form.

4. Oh heart, be patient, though sorrows multiply,
Sever your hopes, for hopes are delusions.

5. If fate betrays you, do not seek aid,
For people are fate's followers and allies.

6. In all creation, an instinct was implanted -
Its disavowal in the heart cannot be denied.

7. Not true kin are kin when you visit their dwellings
In times of affliction, nor true brothers, brothers.
