1. O mother arise and listen
O mother why do you not answer

2. Have you seen the tears in my eyes
And heard, O mother, my lament

3. Has your heart felt what I face
Of hardships and sorrows

4. Existence is a page
Filled with the secrets of hearts

5. You left me to worries
And to hardships and adversities

6. O mother I have come knocking
At your tent on the fateful day

7. I cry over my bliss as
A stranger cries over a stranger

8. Morning passes and I do not
Know from it the secrets of sunset

9. Miserable is life when one is ignorant
Of the mysteries of this wondrous universe

10. Afflictions are feathers
That play with the strings of hearts

11. Passion has exhausted my endurance
And I have lost in my family a healer

12. This I owe to my father
Yet I have not wronged my beloved
