1. Salma has learned that I am
True to my word and faithful to promises

2. And the young man makes promises and travels at night
While he is destined for different fates

3. While one day he wakes up feeling content
In abundant riches, family, and comfort

4. His mother is nearing death and whoever
Is destined for death will meet it

5. So he took refuge but of what he sought
He got nothing but shrouds, a bier, and stones
