1. Perhaps youth will deny me
When one who sees me recalls it, I call out

2. So I am guided to speak my thoughts
While they came rushing and staggering

3. I was walking by the river, heading
From the gate and bridge, wandering

4. A rider appeared, so I raised my eyes
Above him was the crescent moon of Jumada

5. So I pronounced the Takbir twice, while the
People around me pronounced it individually
