1. O dwelling place, time has toyed with its people
At times separating them, at others gathering them

2. Where are those I knew you with once
Time was harmful and beneficial to them

3. You've become frightening to whoever sees you, yet we used to
Seek refuge in you from calamities

4. Days where none of your people have shelter
Except what little joy shelters them

5. My yearning for you, if yearning avails
Or if fate pities those in anguish

6. That life was but an instant
Snatched like the blink of an eye, or swifter
