1. To you I pledge, a pledge of God that shall not cease
As long as I live, or meet my final breath

2. My heart is filled with thoughts of you at every peril
If absent from me, longing burns like glowing embers

3. If clothed with leanness, it would don Safa's stones
And from it hardness flows, no longer plump or full

4. Perhaps if interred inside a grave one eve
You'd say the heavy rains had freed me from its pit
