1. Time brought me into unlawful acts
When the land of Qum turned around

2. I descended among its people
Deaf to honorable deeds, blind

3. Their backs are tough to my ill fate
Around me arrows of folly are shot

4. And over what I complain about
My worries and sorrows increased by it

5. When it sees a handsome young man
Like a sapling striped bare, a full moon

6. It rises to join him hastily
As if rising for an important mission
