Unadorned + 

Regardless of the cries of priests and sages + 

I strove to give my bleeding soul her wages; + 

And each embrace or memory of one + 

Is worth to me the treasures of the ages, + 

Is worth to me the treasures of the ages. + 

Each shadow of a kiss or fond embrace + 

Down in the depth of solitude I trace; + 

And in the corners of my darkest den + 

The fallen gods of pleasure find a place, + 

The fallen gods of pleasure find a place. + 

And though knee-deep I find myself in hell, + 

And though the flames around my cheeks should swell, + 

I shall not loose my grip on Allah’s throne, + 

I shall not fall alone, I know full well, + 

I shall not fall alone, I know full well. + 
