1. They said, when you come to Sirwa
Be wary of intense heat

2. And beware of the water, so fill your waterskins
And be determined to take more

3. For its expanses are difficult
In their harshness, how much they have wearied many a lad

4. Yet they did not know that the favor of God
Remains far-reaching and unending

5. The rain of all creation when they thirst
With abundant rain that encompasses all slaves

6. And how many streams are there that pass by
Quenching riders and sufficing armies

7. So glory be to Him, the Generous one
Whose favor encompasses all creatures, kindness and grace
