My head in old age lacks the virtue for judgement, and my red face like Gulnar (pomegranate-flower) has become pale; the roof, the door, the four pillars (four elements) and the wall of my existence have run to ruin and are facing the advent of the worst state.

My head in old age lacks the virtue for judgement, and my red face like Gulnar (pomegranate-flower) has become pale; the roof, the door, the four pillars (four elements) and the wall of my existence have run to ruin and are facing the advent of the worst state.
