1. My two friends, you have saddened me with sorrow
You would have done me a favor had I been saddened

2. People have my effects, otherwise there would be no sorrow
And your life is nothing but straying misguidance

3. The comfort of the wretched is not in the misery of others
Does he carry some of what he bears?

4. No, the two bearers of the miserable saddlebag are burdened
And the one with the heavy load on his back has no helper with a heavy load

5. And it is a kind of obscure injustice in its place
You console yourself with the wretch when you contemplate

6. Because despair has made you its friend, which is its talk
Without crime, if only your tyranny would be just
