1. The souls yearn for death with yearning
And each has a way to death from doctrine

2. We heed the remembrance of death an hour of remembrance
And the life distracts, so let's ignore it and play

3. And our terms approach us day after day
On our ignorance they come closer

4. Did the gray hair perceive that it elegizes its life
Regretful of the sins of the guilty, sinful

5. A certainty as if doubt has overcome its matter
Upon it, and a knowledge to ignorance is attributed

6. The life has blamed me for its luxuries
And its foreignness has addressed me and it is arabized

7. But I was created for other than it
And what was not for it, is beloved to me
