1. O fleeting springtime,
you've hastened my departure from you.

2. You're not in this abode,
nor are you like one who settles down at nightfall.

3. Prudence has evaded me
in seeking you out, though prudence is exemplary.

4. My misstep was an error, yet God's
kindness continues to forgive.

5. How can the free man stay
in a land whose people are few?

6. A land where the dear ones of its people
are subjugated and humiliated.

7. I do not implore you, now that
the vanishing has appeared to my eyes.

8. Only a deluded fool
frequents the land of transience.
