1. The promises of Hammad are an imagined sky
That reveals thunder yet will flash with lightning

2. If you come to him one day, he defers you to tomorrow
As the deceitful promise what is not true

3. Naif has estranged me, though I
Will occasionally ponder while the judicious ponder

4. The Nagra have a people, if I were one of them
I would be invited, but the door is closed to me

5. Abu Umar you left behind me my need
And others’ needs bright in your eyes

6. I continued to consult you until you disappointed me
With a promise like a faulty machine that falters and fails
