1. Oh my people, my eyes have rejoiced
At the ignorance flaming in the air

2. It follows clouds of accumulation
Followed by darkness stirred up

3. It stirs up wind on earth
It excites dust in it

4. It leaves the strong lying dead
It leaves the gentle asses

5. From it is the darkness of space
And people made drunk by it

6. It has left them dizzy
And followed them with ruin

7. A person cannot tell from it
If it was night he saw or day

8. Every mirage seems
To have worn splendid attire

9. Oh my people, you have walked hurriedly
In the footsteps of elders

10. You have discarded knowledge like
One who intended to burn the few and small

11. You have worn the garment of ignorance
You have taken it as your banner

12. Oh my people, why do I see you
Having settled into the home of ignorance

13. You have wasted the glory of a people
Who built the magnificent life

14. Leave the sky of glory
With what they illuminated as beacons

15. They tailored for you a garment of pride
You have cast it off disdainfully

16. Then dressed yourselves
In the clothing of disgrace and shame

17. Oh, would that my people listen
To what I say loudly

18. Oh poetry, you have heard but
My people seem drunk to me

19. So do not care if they
Give your call enmity

20. And be patient with what you encounter
Break through when you stumble
