1. After a while, graves will cover me
As they covered my equals

2. After a while, life will forbid my anthems and songs fade away
After a while, I won't know if a loved one is near or far

3. My worldly dreams will end and existence will make me weep
The clouds of death will shroud my sky after a while

4. How did the stars of hope disappear from my life’s horizons?
What eroded my ideals and unraveled my thoughts?

5. The heart asked but grief left its question unanswered
It saw its white dreams were made of mirage

6. And wished the end would come after a while
The earth roared at me in the mornings and evenings

7. And the tuneful melody turned into weeping in my ears
I took sorrow as my drink and the nights of regret

8. And though I transcended, I sang no love from clay
Oh teach me to cast my love into my sky after a while

9. In the bliss of the cup, forgetting those who lost their way
And in deprivation, weeping is useless to him who weeps

10. While my cup makes me blind, forgetting my mornings
Showing me how my evenings became my joys

11. And my soul desired itself to go after a while
