1. Time has not disappointed my dreams, exhausted them,
Without me having expected it beforehand.

2. O you who have disappointed my hopes in their affection!
No matter how much I forget, I have no forgetfulness today.

3. You have already blessed cleansing our homelands;
For the dearest consolation to a person is their homelands.

4. And if I grieve for a group who have never
Ceased to have standing and whose best are vipers and snakes,

5. Oh, if only you had mustered all your resolve
On the Day of Reckoning, for those who slipped and betrayed!

6. What you have endured of tempting thoughts assailing you,
On the Day of Reckoning, for those who slipped and betrayed!

7. The vile's plunder for which the free are an offering,
Are you neglecting the worn who paved an age

8. For your victory? Yet you give comfort to those made low!
Are you overlooking minds whose talents

9. Once shone, empowered, and led before eras?
Are you honoring small folk whose whole worth

10. Is sham, who have no truth or faith?
In times like these, thought is confused in an age

11. Ruled by thought since mankind grew proud.
