Have you not seen me, when the times changed?
Did you not see me when time passed by,
I spend summer in Iraq and winter in the mountains.
I summered in Iraq and the mountains became wintry,

The scorching winds of summer and the cold of winter!
The poison of summer and the cold of winter,
I beg your mercy! One state of fortune has shifted you to another.
Your tenderness was my state and your affection was my state,

So be patient in the face of misfortunes as they arise;
So patience for the occurrence of misfortunes,
The turns of fate have refused anything but change.
Misfortunes show me nothing but transience.
