1. I am perplexed what to say of what has saddened me,
Among my people it was stored up for my time.

2. Is it fate that has trespassed against it,
Or matters arranged by the Merciful?

3. If it be so, then it is justice,
Or if it flows from events.

4. In short, that edifice which they adorned,
If this be not injustice without madness!
