1. Men traveled and brought us tidings of those gone
Only to return after delay and uncertainty

2. They perished like forefathers, how many has time wasted away
With staves on their shoulders and sons in tow

3. We buried them in earth with certainty of their end
Yet no soul knows what comes next except conjectures

4. A young man's attempt to unravel what Allah has concealed
Would be deemed insanity or near insanity
