O heedless one, whom it does no good
O heedless one, for whom blame
to blame and rebuke so much!
And admonishment are futile,

Indeed, it is heedlessness—woe to you for it—
Beware this heedlessness, for it shall be
that no chroniclers have recorded in any history.
Your ruin, as the historians relate in chronicles,

And as has been said, suppose you are blind:
And it has been said: pretend that you are blind,
How can the scents of melons escape you?
How could you miss the scent of melons?
