Then I was thrown upwards towards the sky

This lamp burns, one day it may extinguish

You have also given me sorrow, now I have nowhere to go

The wound of the heart must have healed by now

Love is patient, politics is oppressive

The palanquins that could not be lifted due to poverty
The soul must have been wounded when it heard the shehnai

But the ant never gets wings without a reason

Who had the burden of his family on his shoulders

The hunger of the children was not seen

The heart is somewhere, and we are somewhere else
