1. Tears upon my eyes are guarantors of watering your home,
Even if you don't know that.

2. And I said to my friends, look, does it seem to you
The conscience of a country has concealed the mother of its ruler?

3. It's as if the horses, when they set out at dawn
Left the leopards' cubs in the blessed places.

4. So don't be distraught if time's vicissitudes with its changes
Altered a state - such are tribulations.

5. We have camels, filling up the horizon, as if they
Carried the hillocks above the ruins.

6. But when the days became dusty, they were scared away,
And swooped down upon them with deadly claws.

7. More dutiful to the enemies than me is the son of Hurra,
Speedy in dangerous places, shunning the roads.

8. I set up for them the market of execution with my swords
And taught them to stab the kidneys with the spears.

9. For life is but a duration that will soon end
And wealth is fleeting, lost with the one who's lost.
