1. Do not envy her fading beauty,
And youth slipping away.

2. Have mercy on her as I do, remember her
After this affliction, with affection.

3. Beware of revealing your eyes one day
To the envious of a jealous heart.

4. It would be unfair for the undeserving
To enjoy her subtle charms.

5. It is beneath the dignity of a rival
To see his rival with resentful eyes.

6. To converse with others is like
Admitting to herself her own excellence.

7. She left the whole world an inheritance for you
Rule the kingdom of an illustrious lord.

8. Raise among the factions the banner
That unites lasting beauty and a blessed star

9. For the factions have certainly scattered
Those who loved her banner now furled.

10. Consigned to decay, bid her farewell in peace
And delight in existence as long as you can

11. You have the pleasures of youth and frivolity
So enjoy them for a limited time.
