1. I see time barren, bearing no fruit,
Where can I graze, when the grass is scarce?

2. To God I complain that the likes of me are lost,
Enduring people whose promises are never fulfilled.

3. When I try to catch up with them,
I know for sure that I will fail.

4. When misers are stingy without discrimination,
Their stinginess is embroidered on both sides.
