1. As if I was destined for ruin one evening,
At the foot of bare hills, waiting for rain.

2. While you all wear new clothes after
I was banished in rags to the desert wilderness.

3. As if when I said farewell I was packing goods -
To take the camel litters and camel necks.

4. As if strings of pearls hung around
The neck of a beautiful woman, lost, by a thorn tree or lotus tree.

5.
It would be a statement, yet I am no informant,
