1. The turns of fate competed with me
To reach the graves of my fathers by foot

2. If I could visit them
Walking on my head not my feet

3. I would hasten to walk on the soil of their graves
My dear family is most precious to me

4. But in Egypt there is a grave and in Shizir
A grave and my home is far in the foreign lands

5. And injustice in the earth prevents me from
All I desire even visiting their tombs

6. And I never thought what I experienced in life
My eyes would see again even in a dream
