1. For his pomp has now become vanity,
And the shadows of departure have descended upon him.

2. He has been stripped of the clothes he wore,
And clothed in raiments of transition.

3. After riding horses aimlessly,
He is led between the necks of men,

4. To a grave he will be left in alone,
Avoided by kin and comrades.

5. He has parted from his inheritor and turned away,
And the glory of status did not veil him.
