1. A young man benefits only from his conscience
By God, or solve pressing issues as it is his pillar

2. Alas, one you trust, his company will not satisfy you
In your time, there is none whose affection you may hope for

3. Nor a friend, if time betrays
If your companions were as many as the sands

4. You would find none but God as your support
If you are clever or sensible

5. Then live alone and do not depend on anyone
I have advised you in what I have said, and that is enough
