1. O heart, be patient, for grief has brought you low
You still lament with sighs that rise and fall

2. We long for those whose tombs the sands now pillow
Have patience, for your fate is but a thread

3. May He who decreed this parting be so kind
To bring us back together and sorrows dispel

4. You say afflictions have made you their abode
And all their fires on you, O heart, now dwell

5. May He who sends you this pain make it light
If you're reunited with your loved ones as well
