1. The promise has been long delayed
And the free man fulfills what he promised

2. And you promised me on Thursday
Neither Thursday nor Sunday has come

3. And when I asked you, you did not increase
Beyond saying "yes, by God, tomorrow"

4. So I count days passing
And I'm tired of counting

5. And you say you instructed Al-Khatib
Did he then leave the country?

6. And when you rely on Al-Khatib
You have not relied on anyone
