1. My state has been distorted by the injustice of time,
And the truth of despair from the lies of wishes.

2. The nights have excelled in frightening me,
So where can I find safety?

3. Have I not been content while burdened with my grief,
And my distress among the eloquent?

4. I try to stand up to what comes my way,
But calamities make me sit without haste.

5. And the darkness of soil is more burning
When it finds ease from disgrace.

6. Is there anyone who will take me by the hand?
By God, the intensity of what I suffer!

7. Whatever I complain of from my days,
Faulty in the hands of afflictions, hurting me.

8. And I do not want a guide to my demise,
It is enough that I live, it is enough.
