1. Have you not seen that days have impact?
And that their impact is harsh and severe?

2. And that when events come in succession
They pull strongly and fell mightily?

3. Do you not know, my dear friend,
That you were created for decline and diminishment?

4. And that the strokes of time are continuous
And that everything it reached has an end?

5. When time turns over, it humiliates the mighty
And originates new things and destroys multitudes

6. I see you fending off days, day after day
Repelling calamity again and again

7. My brother, when the two executioners show up
You see their hands reaping and sowing

8. When time butts with its horns
Its butting involves lowering and raising

9. You cannot accommodate the days’ grace
When you fall short of justice, even a span

10. If a person did not benefit you alive
He would have benefited you less if dead
