Indeed, a man who has journeyed ninety years
A man journeyed ninety pilgrimages
in addition to a hundred, yet has not wearied of life, is a fool.
To a hundred, not tiring of ignorant living

Two hundred years have passed, ten short of their full count,
Two hundred came, plus ten, their loyalty
and those are but few amid the passing nights.
That was but from the passing of few nights
