1. An elder who would deny us his company
Before he would deny us his money

2. I have lost hope in people who abandoned him
Whether free or hearing his echo they abandoned him

3. And most of the youth are pretending
Spreading his pretense, baring his state

4. An elder with copious money but
He has locked all he owns with locks

5. So whenever a problem perplexed us
And it wanted to clarify its complexity

6. It built its deeds on confusion
And that is truly a blind one

7. So the Merciful sent a snake to him
To show him his deeds in solitude
