1. Beware of transgression, slander, gossip,
Suspicion, idolatry, tyranny, and doubt.

2. As you grow older by not an atom's weight
Does death not draw closer to you, await.

3. What is your stay when time swiftly flies,
Now raising you, now causing your demise?

4. If the vicissitudes of fate could be told
In every blink, how much change they would hold!
