1. Are you from the family of Salma, the one who questions?
Yes, and the songs have taught their ways.

2. So you remained, closing your eyes to the brink of tears
As if, from your life's trials, you were ignorant.

3. And it changed verses with the lightning of happiness
As the nights grew long and the distances stretched.

4. Yet in it was a lesson for the wise,
And an opinion for those with reason. Are you sensible?

5. Remember brothers now gone who passed away
While grey hair covers those left behind.

6. Waves of lifetimes diminish, blown
By scents of rainshowers that pour down.
