1. In his days, man faces lessons,
Then calm occurs after turmoil.

2. Time kept silent for one who examined it.
Its ups and downs told the news.

3. It called out, so listen, if you were aware,
And I see the consequences, if sight could see.

4. How often have I said: come, though you have slept,
Eyes that stay up late are their right.

5. With the permission of the One who makes me see though deaf,
Or a heart that makes me hear though stony.

6. Were it not for your blindness, adversity would not have come,
And my advice would not have come as a warning.

7. These are the ends of a group who perished.
I gave you silence, so take heed.

8. The night of youth seemed to dawn
With stars of old age blossoming in it.

9. I told her: Do not be so surprised
At white hair untouched by old age.

10. Rather, I have folded the heat of anxieties
That made sparks fly on my temple.

11. You have beautified your looks and faces
Matching perfectly in appearance and character.

12. Beauty lies in the forms of souls, even if
You liked their physical forms.

13. The hands of misfortunes could not shake you,
A pillar, nor disturb you, O strangers!
