of the bitter stream
 of sorrow and tears
 she drank
 she drained
 a pure cup of grief
 and lay her down 
 upon the trail of trials
 upon the dust of error
 face upwards to eternity
 back against
 the cold earth
 the cruel dirth
 the enmity 
 the malicious
 the mischievous
 to flee its odor
 all beauty bound
 in hulking chains
 she lay her down
 her burdened life
 and died today
 and died forever
 to this world
 o glory
 o self
 o source
 o sustainer
 o qá'im
 immersed
 in kawthar 
 she dissolved
 to nothing
 she is no more
 she is forever gone
 she has overcome
