At whose mercy shall I lay my tears,
And let my heart to shed its sorrow?
Whose name shall I call upon for help,
When I’m lost from home like a sparrow?

In distress,
Who other than Abbas may answer my call?
Who other than Abbas may be the cure for my soul?

Who other than the water carrier will quench my thirst?
Who other than the standard bearer will be there first?
