1. We ask Allah for what brings satisfaction
Allah is enough for me, whatever He decrees

2. We intended, but Allah refused for us
And Allah willed something, so it was done

3. How often I tied a firm knot
Then did not wake until it came undone

4. So many resolved matters
Left many people stirred up

5. Lives of past peoples
Existed, then vanished and were gone

6. How terrible death is
Whoever we saw died, dispatched away

7. The dead is cast off in his hour
His family abandons him when he's gone

8. The worst of my days is when
I face the world as recompense for my debt
