1. I see fate working its work
And man lives always hopeful

2. Each has an excuse he voices
Glory to my Lord - how numerous the excuses

3. Whoever knows people in their doings
Does not follow a companion's mistakes

4. If you suffice someone who did evil
You have done the like of the evil he did

5. Lofty morals are only for one
Who is patient when faced with hate, if it descends

6. The forbearing one is in a garden that turns
Ignorance from him if an ignorant one is ignorant

7. He seeks excuses for a friend even
If one day he came to him with his excuse, he accepts

8. Lighten up on all whom you accompanied even
If he was carrying a heavy load and enduring

9. How often we have seen a naked man
Even if he wears garments

10. Let no man feel safe from
The help of life, for I have seen it changing

11. Everyone has ahead of him a hope
That distracts, but behind him is death

12. Oh misery for the heedless waster
About any mighty thing from his affairs heedlessly distracted

13. Everything new - time creates it
And everything living - dead soon

14. Everything meets him with fate unto
Death, and meets his sustenance complete
