And portrays mankind and the angels.

2. Indeed the fortunate one attains his goal,
While the brother of misery - he is in torment.

3. Evil amongst people is shared,
While good amongst them is not shared.

4. They race towards death over musk,
Yet with racing - loss of musk.

5. It suffices them from killing themselves,
With two from dating and from dissolving.

6. At night it is enough, and daytime when
It confounds them with the disasters of fate.

7. And to eternity is the destination of the flaming one,
And to stillness the confused one of movement.

8. The pigeon flew and dived competently,
So it killed the living bird and fish.

9. Do not be lied to, for what is shameful
In it has a sanctuary other than the violated.

10. Time, when it comes and goes
Kills kings in every battlefield.

11. The weakness of factors on their parts
Is the weakness of spindles from it in fate.

12. The concordant heart of the immersed one forgot,
So it does not frequent every immersed one.

13. And men came to their livelihoods
Racing to spread the nets.

14. The eye sees where its beloved is,
But it is blind to the partner.

15. I remembered this death and was disturbed,
My soul there more disturbed.

16. Harmful to its rememberer and its seer
Is to sleep except on scrape.

17. O nature whose possessions are negligence,
Your melting is destined upon negligence.
