1. We bleed to the graves each day
Bearing the bier on our shoulders

2. An intimate, a lover, or a stranger
And bury the old sheikh in the earth

3. Death does not spare the young
Nor leave the rich or the poor

4. As if when they dwelt in the pits
They did not dwell in palaces

5. When the young man lives a hundred and ten
He still says, I lived a short time

6. If you examine with careful thought
You will find people living tombs
