1. Gazing faded into creases' folds
Obscure, save remnants it withholds

2. Expired, reclaimed, save bitterness
In a heart or embryo in narratives

3. That certainty's chill in goodness of that
Cradle in its nobility and truth of intentions

4. It cost me, from hands that contested me
Hands that my hands did not heed

5. I was, in my youth, blessed with faith
Of contentment, where is the era of my youth?

6. So guidance was robbed, and I strayed into light
Yet I was truthful in my guidance

7. My youth strayed from me and years after
Went astray in discourse of many issues

8. And doubt replaced certainty, so for God
A heart consumed by misery

9. O boy I shrouded yesterday from within
My conscience, spare me the sorrow

10. Sanctify my cloak from the garments
Upright, immaculate of sins

11. Your era the sky rained and bestowed
Mercies of contentment in gusts of pleasure
