1. Informer, speak clearly, dispel my doubts
With certainty, replace uncertainty

2. Of the absent one, tell me how is he
He who went to the sands, what is his fate?

3. I never feared my own hard times would make
Me soft and weak, till she whose love would take

4. No other shot me, and after the blow
Came but doubled woe and crying in tow

5. My support against the days, she made me rue
Against their events I've no recourse, no clue

6. She conquered my precious sanity, and sorrow
Parted us, though to me she was dear morrow

7. I let her go, could stop her not at all
Yet for my weakness here, blame myself I shall

8. Most deserving of sadness and the weeping eye
Are those whose dear one said goodbye, goodbye

9. One hand won't avail when the other took death
And went to what's beyond this mortal breath

10. Year passed with no sight of you, now time's run out
We couldn't meet, though the chance was about

11. For you cut bonds, people came between us riven
Blocking with death what once was so tight-knit

12. The new days heaped dirt on you, arrows like rain
Poured down till all around you was but bane

13. Among those who perished and moved no more
They lived before, thrived in days of yore

14. In graves they dwell, wombs that bear no child
By sorrow for your tomb I'm stripped, running wild

15. Ribs shudder with painful longing, affairs shaken
Eyes rain tears in torrents, all bonds taken

16. These cheeks not marred, yet marred they are in stages
By teardrop hordes storming tender visages

17. No wonder rains fall on your plot, the eye weeps
For there lies the black of eyes in earthen deeps
