Father hushed, utterly hushed,
Oh, how do you sever this rite, Father?
How do you sever, oh Father?

A chain of strange bonds, how do you sever, Father?
It clings, it doesn't open, like clouds of deeds.
It doesn't fly with the wind, doesn't bow to the water.

Abeer, your gaze is Kabul, is Kabul,
Abeer, your gaze, Kabul.
How do you sever, oh Father?
A chain of strange bonds, how do you sever?
How do you sever, oh Father?

You, my love, do not be angry, no.
We will be here, whatever happened, happened,
now only with you.
Now only with you.
If you do not smile, my heart is broken.
My words blossom, tears flow, tears of joy flow.

How do you sever, oh Father?
How do you sever, oh Father?
A chain of strange bonds, how do you sever?
A bond, a chain of bonds.
A bond, a chain of bonds.
A bond, a chain of bonds.

A tiny moment says, stay, pause now here.
A sweet smile in tiny hands, filling a moment.
Fill yourself with laughter.
This sweet night, fill your heart with peace.
Even if tears come, just keep smiling, keep smiling.

How do you sever, oh Father?
How do you sever, oh Father?
A chain of strange bonds, how do you sever?
A part of my soul, whom I considered my life.
In a moment, it became alien, unknown.
A part of my soul, whom I considered my life.
Unknown.
