Translation
(WHY AM I SUFFERING LIKE A BALL OF WET CLAY MANHANDLED BY THE POTTER?)
My dear friend! The wicked destiny, like an expert potter, is rotating my mind, making a ball of it forcefully like clay, placing it on the wheel of worries, beating it with the stick of difficulties, and continuously hitting it in ways known only to him. I do not know what he is trying to make! ॥ 89 ॥
