خیلی دعا کردم نشد
مشکو بغل کردم نشد
داداش حسین شرمندتم
رفتم که برگردم نشد
چشمام نمی‌بینه داداش
بدجوری دستام خاکیه
هر کار می‌شد کردم نشد
شرمنده مشکم خالیه
از ناقه افتادم زمین
دستام برام کاری نکرد
تا خیمه‌ها راهی نبود
مشک آبروداری نکرد
دندون گرفتم عشقتو سینه سپر کردم نشد
خواستم علمداری کنم
رفتم که برگردم نشد
رفتم که برگردم نشد
I held the waterskin to my chest, but it was no use
Brother Hussein, I am ashamed before you
I left meaning to return, but I could not
My eyes can no longer see, brother
My hands are terribly covered in dust
I did everything I could, but it was no use
Forgive me, my waterskin is empty
I fell from the camel to the ground
My hands could do nothing for me
There was no way through to the tents
The waterskin did not preserve my honor
I gripped your love in my teeth and made my chest a shield, but it was no use
I wanted to bear the standard
I left meaning to return, but I could not
I left meaning to return, but I could not
