1. O questioner, asking about people
Whose wrongdoing increases their elevation

2. By your life, I have not turned my attention to them
Except to compose poetry in this age

3. Beware of the vile, whose status rises
Thus in the morning he is oblivious of the virtuous

4. Like one perplexed, not knowing the path of guidance
Straying, and not finding a guide to righteousness

5. You see everyone with a mind like a tail feather
And every fool of opinion rising to the hilltops

6. Like a drowned corpse when it putrefies
And floats atop the water, rising to the surface
