1. Death severed every close bond
The dead has no friend after it

2. Whoever dies, loses advice and sympathy
From every well-wisher and intimate

3. The dweller of the grave descended from those of high status
To an abode far and profound

4. All people of the world are floating on negligence
Among them are survivors and drowners

5. They compete in swimming so they are between
A savior among them and one who's drowning

6. And my seeking of what I ask from it
I was not entitled to seek it in reality
