1. Why have I paused by the graves to bid farewell,
My beloved's grave, but no reply comes my call,

2. My beloved, why no reply comes from you,
Have you forgotten after me the intimates dear?

3. The beloved replied: How can I answer your call
When shrouded in dust and earth lies all?

4. The earth has eaten my charms so I forget you,
Veiled from my folk and companions true,

5. My greetings to you though severed ties
Of love between you and I in demise.
