1. Yesterday there was a wound, and today in my heart there is a wound
Yesterday we slept on it, and today we woke up

2. Whenever the winds shook Rashid
His disabled leg oozed with sores

3. Whenever he tightened the belt for the tribe
The tribe turned to him pleadingly

4. Oh beautiful knight, farewell
We feel mercy, love and forgiveness for you

5. Oh beautiful knight, answer me
How can the lowlands rise above the peaks?

6. You were their greatest, yet no sword shook
In the hand of the pretender, nor did a spear shake

7. You made their palace the highest, but you don't know
That it did not elevate your people's palace

8. Maybe you felt constrained by the darkness, but
Stand still for a while, the night will be followed by dawn

9. And if you rose up only wounded
It is little that glory is made with wounds
