1. O you who is deceived by time
In its passions, having cast off restraint

2. Your love of this world and its adornments
Is a sedition that has engulfed you in trials

3. You remained, though circumstances bear witness
Clinging to it insistently

4. So abandon it, for its adornment
Is an adornment that has declined and lost value

5. It has deceived you, for it is ugly
Inwardly, though outwardly beautiful

6. And put forth what you find joy in
Before the prolonged affliction and sorrow

7. It is as if your delay never ceased
And as if your world never was
