1. Our neighbor, troubles befall us
And some of the secure are struck

2. Our neighbor, I am not yesterday's evening
But one who stays as long as the wind blows

3. If you ask me, have I been patient? Then I
Am patient with the adversity of time, a cross

4. There flowed from the bowels of obstinate denial
Gazelles and birds with separation cry

5. I looked but did not notice, and it departed so it made clear
To it the birds before me and the mindful is mindful

6. So it said forbidden for us to see after this
Both together unless an exile returns

7. Our neighbor, patience, so oh Lord of destruction
Hearts break from anguish over it
