1. The dawn has not been obscured from me,
And the night of anguish has been prolonged.

2. Illness lurks within my bones
Like the lurking of death at the blade's edge.

3. I have clothed praise with protected honor,
Taking pleasure in honest, lawful wealth.

4. Playful words with denied gifts -
Resolute will of a mind insane.

5. When I contend for lofty kingship,
I shake the deaf, quilled wings.

6. He pours the spittle of death upon hyenas
And lines the spearheads with destruction.
