My exit, unobserved, my homesickness, absurd,
I said "water,"
Expecting the word would just satisfy my thirst!
Talking all about the second and third
when I haven't the first,
Jonah, where's that boat going.

Your ship set with eager sail?
There's a swirling storm soon blowing,
And no use, fisherman, in rowing from a consecrated whale!
Just like the clouds gonna bring darkness and a hard rain's
gonna fall.
I felt the crowds bring a loniliness and a hard rain's gonna
fall.

My every medicine caused more illness and a hard rain's
gonna fall, but until I let you go I didn't know,
You were never mien at all, but now i spend my days
in ever-increasingly complicated ways convincing
myself of the rightness of each word.
I say my exit, unfair if observed!

Ya Sabur,
Subhannallahi,
A'uduhu Billahi Minash-Shaitanir-Rajim,
Al-Hamdu Lilllah,
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
