1. Between the desert and the smiling lightning
Help from God and a courageous horseman

2. And tombs between erosion and reason
I studied them and in them rest honourable men

3. I lamented over them and called out to them
If only they could hear, though yearning cannot be summoned

4. Do not go far, peace be upon you
And farewell, for people may separate

5. Yet I refused, delighted to see those I saw
And when I awoke, they were but dreams
