1. You left in the evening from a valley of roses
And abandoned a brother in the valley of roses

2. A brother to you - if estrangement is prolonged, you will find him
Forgetful, and if intimacy endures, owning you

3. And if you were a sword that amazes people with its sharpness
And were for him one day among the days of time, unsheathed

4. And if you were the most guided of people, then accompanied him
And obeyed him, guidance would go astray and misguide you

5. When you come to him seeking guidance, he opposes guidance
And if you turn away from the gate of misguidance, he leads you
