1. I seek refuge in God from the turmoil of politics,
It is an ocean I cannot navigate.

2. The shining scholar of the East sought protection before me,
He who if he spoke a word, all would bow their heads at his mention.

3. I seek refuge in God from ruling and rulers,
For misery is begotten of politics.

4. When you examine all words that begin with "S",
You find in them wretchedness and misery.

5. Sorrow, illness, misery, and disgrace,
All words starting with "S" connote baseness.

6. So beware of poison and leave good fortune to the clouds,
That roamed in the imagination, tracing their shapes.

7. He who seeks politics on this earth,
Is like one who savors the taste of filth.
