1. Ask the soul about its worries
With a skilled, adept tongue

2. That avoids the earth and flies
With light, interwoven wings

3. Is this my people who
Broke the teeth of my jugs

4. And mocked me, becoming
Like apes, fallen and failed

5. Today Walid wakes
Wandering, singing songs

6. With him a bowl and waterskin
And rest in the desert

7. Send out horses for cunning
And archers for archers
