1. We have dispensed with winter
And with coats of fur

2. And with stuffing and turbans
And with firewood and prayers

3. And with carpets and tents
In homes without rent

4. Summer has come with authority
Bearing banners ahead

5. With handkerchiefs and light wraps
And sandals and gowns

6. And drums and tambourines
With dancing and singing

7. People will enter the Day of Judgment
Helpless without even a loincloth

8. I want nothing to do with usury
Or raids and loot

9. I am not one who circumambulates
Arafat or Mina

10. I roam cities and villages
And encampments

11. So if they refuse
And disobey to pay protection fees
