1. My worries today seem higher than yesterday's
So let not the blamer mention India or names

2. I was not ignorant in my youthful days
But in old age, knowledge has increased in me

3. Yesterday passed from me, today vanished after it
And tomorrow is not mine, so why do I worry?

4. Are not the days sated with my flesh they perspired
From the bone till they shatter both flesh and bone?

5. Injustice made justice between my body and heart
An era that gives this one and that worry and ill

6. And both occurrences became easy for me
So I make the days hear no praise or blame

7. It oppresses me like a rock and thinks
If I sigh, I will not reveal it is a deaf rock

8. The days know not my value in their ignorance
While I and they are like the sun and blind

9. I used to see my fate as an adversary
Until today I knew it had made peace with me

10. It was but unjust, except that
Its days differed, as it increased my injustice
