1. Alas, time has often betrayed and changed
And frustrated people's hopes, and prolonged

2. I see people in life as fortunate and afflicted
And God's judgment on earth continues imposed

3. His knowledge has already gone out to all people
And differentiated it as He willed and connected

4. And we do not, for the sweetness of fate and its bitterness
See a judgment in us from God more just

5. Without creating good and evil as a test
To make us desire what is in His hands and implore

6. And He only wanted us to benefit from His bounty
And that we repent so He accepts

7. He is the One, the Eternal, after His creation
And continues in the eternity of creation first

8. And man was not created but for a purpose
And man was not left neglected on earth

9. It is enough of a lesson that I and you, my brother
Go through gentle manipulation and are tested

10. It is as if we have become a talk for others
The talk is broached as we did with those who passed

11. I imagined a people who passed so it is as if
Together they were imagined fancy

12. And I will not outlast them in their homes
But I have in them a deferred book

13. For people are but dead and son of dead
A living hastened or was patient among them

14. So do not suppose God breaks His promise
With what He instructed the Messengers and sent
