1. I wandered at dawn to a shining dune
Whose beauty of features was perfectly done

2. Its charm which is famed spoke well of its grace
Afraid, shared riders avoid its embrace

3.
In character, kindness it did evince

4. Like bounty endowed with no limits
It nurtured the rain in the burrows and dells

5. With thunder it called, and with plants it did dwell
Its lands were made fertile with blessings galore

6. Till day spread before me its carpets and more
I was clothed in the dappled coats of gazelles

7. Nearly shucked by the force of my mounting ordeals
I ride and take comfort in one who does slay

8. Debased am I by clouds colored in grey
For nothing know I of what’s yet to unfold

9. My friend and the truth travel paths free of holds
Time jokes and neglects its own ending in death

10. The hole of my eye socket pushes me on
My virility's shunned its former oath

11. While grey hair just laughs towards youth that is gone
The old scorn all movement and pleasure's sweet note

12. Sustenance cannot fulfill wishes of hearts
Time, as you can see, trips on rock after rock

13. How many friends left before I took stock
I missed them and my soul heaved heavy sighs

14. Once they made me laugh, now weep is all I've got
Resolve I endowed them with, staunch and wise

15. Like a sword keenly knowing where to be brought
Only the mighty make reason defiled

16. No people are mine, from your slumber be jolted
I see the sure signs of a time that is riled

17. A base king now swills, by slaves he's exalted
Don't sleep with lids heavy in rheum

18. Ruin, when fallen on men, is contagious in bloom
Rouse the sharp vigilance prudent men know

19. Get drunken in revels once danger lays low
