1. Oh remember the covenant that was between us
For even if time is long, I will remember it

2. Do not deny a longstanding love and bond
For I neither forget it nor deny it

3. And your good and beautiful deeds beforehand
Despite its condition from me, and I am grateful for it

4. For after you two, I have no friend to help
Whom I take comfort with in my need, and discuss it

5. And I have regarding the collection of knowledge and its study
No friend to be familiar with, pious and discuss with

6. So who do I have when the days betray me
And who do I have when its troops come pouring over me

7. So I spent it alone while tribulations abound
Other than worries and thoughts I think about
