1. Woe to the weak from the powerful
Woe to the sinner from fate

2. One is guided by the shepherd
While the other remains without a guide

3. One is glorified for evil
While the other is disgraced without evil

4. One is suspected of wit
While the other is divested of pretense

5. Beware of the small for it
Is armed with the fangs of the great

6. The honor of conscience for the fortunate
Is to be without conscience

7. And one morning I spent
In a valley's curve so alike

8. It left in my chest an ailment
That awakened the fiery driver

9. I saw a mother grieving
Behind a measly coffin

10. Mourning her son with tears
Scorching from the broken heart

11. She looked at the coffin
Weeping for one last hope

12. As if her eyelash was a wick
That her sigh almost extinguished

13. The hand of soil took over
And the gravedigger returned

14. The hired priest completed
The short period of time

15. And left, abandoning the dead, greeted
By the murmuring streams

16. And visited at dawn
By flocks of birds

17. The sky wept the son of misery
With abundant flower tears

18. And the night melted in the breeze
The sentiments of the shining moon

19. Oh people of bygone nations
Who legislated laws for generations

20. Is there a difference between rich
And poor even in graves?

21. The right of enshroudment is for the rich
While the poor have no rights

22. One descends in silk
While the other falls in tatters

23. What, is not God generous
To the created supplicant?

24. Is there a difference between the poor
In the eyes of the Ruler and Prince?

25. What, are not the angels content
To forego their dues on the final day?

26. Unless you bribe them
With money on the last day

27. Why, I wonder, have you
Set a price for your Almighty Lord?

28. So He is circled behind the bier
By a large gathering

29. And why do you measure the prayer
When you judge in matters

30. Short for the people of misery
And long for the people of palaces

31. The sun casts its shadow
On the barren valley and alike pasture

32. In its shadows there is no difference
Between weeds and flowers

33. Does God not want
Equality to walk in manners?

34. Does He not want an owned slave
To be sold on the day of judgement?

35. Did He not bestow the tear of purity
And the apple of the pure liver?

36. So the soul seeks a sender
Not a merchant, and so conscience commands
