Wan guh neda ser leḧ’tekê, dît ya xirabe kupekê. 25
They did not listen (give into) ‘wait a minute;’ 157 they saw she was evil from the start.
Ma kê bi dewam xwo ḧewcekê bese; we lê ev paleye.
Who continuously has enough; we are such laborers (insistent) at it.
Xwozîya kesê guh daye min―şêx u melaw, mêr u jin.
Lucky are they that listen to me―sheiks, priests, men and women.
Me divêt bu wan faîdê mezin; lew min dewam gazindeye.
We want for them big profits; that is why I continue to criticize.
Hindî we riḧ maye dileşî nabin dewam xêr u xuşî.
For as long as you have life in your body, deeds and happiness will cease to continue.
Buçî tu hêyî zeḧmet keşî? ‘Umrê me her bê faîdeye . 30
Why are you still struggling? Our life is unprofitable (meaningless).
Dinya me roje yan şeve; heçîya çu ya dî hate ve.
Our world is day and night; whenever one goes, the other arrives.
Hindî hebîn tertîb, eve sal u zeman ev madeye
For as long as we have been organized, this has been the case for years (and time -
forever).
Dayîka me çû. Babê me çû. Fikirê ku bapîr kîve çû?
Our mother left. Our father left. Think about it―Where did our grandfather go?
Kî hatîye têda u neçû pêş çavê xasa wek seye.
Who is come unto (Earth) and has not gone away from sight is like a dog.
Note: The poem continues; the balance was not translated.
157 A request for a very short period of time.
