1. I see my passion for seeking knowledge
Exposes me to greatest affairs

2. So I aspire to every difficult leadership
And desire each impregnable ambition

3. If my wealth makes me retire
My determination and resolve confront me

4. And if I am not wealthy
The wealth of scoundrels is belittled to me

5. And with nothingness I attain what
Is not attained by grace of wealth and sharp swords

6. But it is the custom of seriousness that
It antagonizes me with rude oppressors

7. So where is my escape and what is my strategy
And my seriousness is ahead of me in every direction
