First Line: May allah pardon us
Last Line: We gather to our doom.
Subject(s): Fate; Destiny
May Allah pardon us
Our stumblings! Treacherous
The hand of Fortune proved,
The nights we laughed and loved.
Fate flatters to deceive,
Rejoices but to grieve;
A serpent's in the bloom--
We gather to our doom.
