Where to in such haste?
- Where to in such haste?
The shrub asked the breeze
- My heart is weary of here
Do you not long to journey away from the dust of this desert?
- All my desire, but alas
My feet are bound
Where to in such haste?
- To wherever it may be
Anywhere but this dwelling, my home!
- Safe travels then, but
For the sake of friendship and of God
When you pass safely
Beyond this fearful desert
To the blossoms, to the rain
Carry our greetings there!
