1. To God for what has befallen us we raise complaint
For in His hand lies the relief of hardship and trial

2. We have departed from the world while still among its people
Thus we are neither of the living in it nor of the dead

3. When the guard comes to us one day for a need
We are surprised and say he came from the world

4. And we rejoice in the dream, most of our talk
Is when we become, our talk is of the dream

5. If it is good, it does not come hastily but delays
And if it is ugly, it does not tarry but comes hastily
