1. Did you not spend time with them to let their songs inform you
How then, since they left on the eighth pilgrimage

2. I am done with all dwellings but yearning
For the abode where we shared joy in times long gone

3. For the valley of lilies, how far am I from it
The valley of lilies and the land of delight

4. In our barren desert, no kindness comes our way
While they enjoy only bliss and gardens of paradise
