1. The anguish weighed heavy upon my liver and grief
So the soul endured its horrors

2. And were it not for your existence upon the earth
The earth would have quaked with its quaking

3. And were you not heavy upon its back
The earth would have cast out its burdens

4. So do not wonder at its patience
For with patience your Lord revealed to it

5. And if you had become lightened from it
God would have granted it its hopes
