1. The affliction has set in, and a radiant feast has arrived,
With what can I speak, I wonder?

2. Two matters have become grave, and discord emerged between them,
Bringing them together is a narrow space,

3. Two matters the speaker knows not in perplexity,
Which of the two events' attributes to arrange,

4. Sad tidings occurred, followed by a feast that has adorned,
Why then are the gates of prohibition not closed?

5. If the new feast necessitates congratulations,
The obligation of condolences is more pressing,

6. Shall I obey the caller of joy, or the caller of sorrow?
My heart is torn between sweetness and agony.

7. No cheer has lasted in their eyes,
Except shackled by overflowing tears.
