1. I see a man desiring his life to lengthen
Yet in its length, exhaustion and misery

2. In youth I wished I would live long
And surely lives are allotted fortunes

3. When what I desired came to me, it saddened me
Of life what I had yearned and longed for

4. My mind imagines when I'm alone
Riding on shoulders and walking proudly

5. Harsh misfortunes have unveiled me
And worries without respite

6. The passing breeze reminds me
Of graves the soil hollows out

7. And here I am in my ninety-first Hijri year
Terrifying me with thunder and lightning

8. They say an antidote benefits the likes of you
I have nothing but the mercy of an antidote
