Translation

```

My vital wants to catch everything.

Alas, everything disappears before

It can catch anything

In God’s entire creation.

O mind, why do you hanker

After the fleeting and fruitless realities?

Long only for the realities

That eternally abide, eternally satisfy

Man’s eternal thirst.

```
