Your world and the bathhouse stand on equal footing:
Your world and the pigeons are of one rank
distress outside, and distress within.
Outside is sadness, inside as well

It did not cleanse, but defiled, and did away
It did not purify, but defiled and became tarnished
with the generous lord and the miser.
By the Lord Most Generous and the miser

لَو نُخِلَ العَيشُ لَما حَصَّلَت

If life were sifted, it would yield
If life were emptied, it would gain
nothing but death to the sifter's hand.
Nothing but death by the hand of the miser
