One
In the fondness for you, every one came rolling over his head,
And established his sovereignty over all the nine domains.
His arrival was auspicious and the departure was propitious too,
And, thus, Goya, he is the one who found the true way.(1)
Two
The eye, which recognises not the Almighty, is unenlightened,
And expends this precious life just in oblivion.
Weeping, he emanates, and departs with obscured aspirations.
Alas, he, in his coming and going, accomplishes naught.(2)
