1. Do you not see how fate trips up the youth,
And one cannot divert what is destined?

2. I remained patient, neither panicking nor obedient,
To the injustice of a fateful moment in authority.

3. And yet I am one of patience, though my brothers died,
And I have never shied from spears a single day.

4. The Commander of the Faithful struck them down with his sword,
And their bereaved weep around the presses.
