1. Oh my yearning, oh my sadness altogether
And oh the grief of my heart for what we have met

2. We left religion and the world altogether
And we left the loved ones and our sons

3. For we were not people of religion
To have patience for affliction when we are tested

4. Nor were we people of the world
To refuse it even if we do not want the world

5. We left our homes to tyrannical rabble
And the peasants of villages and Ash'aris
