1. How many surprising events occur,
With continuous calamities linked to calamities!

2. Your youth has certainly faded away and vanished,
Though you do not perceive what is coming to you.

3. You desire much from this life, yet
What suffices you is like the provision of a rider.

4. You are not pleased with what you see, as though
It has passed from you like yesterday that went away.

5. You have woken up amid the belongings of people now gone,
Who inherited loss upon loss from each other.
