Once more as I recalled those tear-filled eyes,
Once more did my heart heave a deep sigh,
Once more did I think of the Last Day,
Whenever I thought of your last goodbye.
There is stark desolation in the desert where I am,
It reminds me of the place I often call my home.
Ah, the barren feeling that creeps over me,
As I stand amid ruins where there is none to mourn!
I recall how I had once aimed a stone at a crazy wanderer,
A mad man in the street, when a voice within me cried:
Can you bear the pain if the stone hits your head,
And once more did my heart heave a sigh.
