1. When I could find no back strong enough
To bear my yearning and passion

2. I asked the Najdi lightning to guide
Me to a house where peace resides

3. Though nights may stretch endlessly
I'm not one for false claims or veils

4. Does this pretender dissemble and lie
Then scorn us and draw the veil?

5. If passion spoke true, it would not live
A day apart without end or aim
