| From cradle to grave | G |
| It turns into a demon | H |
| The motherland that nurtures | F |
| It destroys and envelops | I |
| Everyone into the arms of nothingness | J |
| - | |

| Infants die while sucking their lives | L |
| From the ample bosoms of their mothers | F |
| Families gathered | M |
| Not to enjoy a meal | N |
| But to dig a way out | O |
| - | |
| They want to shut their eyes | P |
| Of the painful change | Q |
| Of their existence | R |

| Citizens young and old | B2 |
| Flocked en masse | C2 |
| Into the massive sea | D2 |
| Tossed wildly in the high seas | E2 |
| Swayed like dirt by the enormous waves | F2 |
| To unknown lands | G2 |
| - | |
| They walked days and nights | H2 |
| Through the bone dry lands | G2 |
| Endured sandstorms | I2 |
| Soaked by heavy rains | J2 |
| They crawled like worms | K2 |
| To reach the Golden Lands | G2 |

| They were displaced | L2 |
| To different homes | M2 |
| Homes that have solid fences | N2 |
| And doors are as big as the hole | O2 |
| Of the smallest needle | P2 |
| - | |
| Oh how lucky are the birds | Q2 |
| They could fly to distant places | N2 |
| And claim the vastness | J |

| They could land anywhere | R2 |
| And build homes in a blink of an eye | U |
| - | |
| Oh how we envy the fishes | N2 |
| They could go anywhere | R2 |
| All places that water | C |
| Occupies on Earth | S2 |
| They could swim to the deepest | T2 |
| Known points in Earth's oceans | U2 |
| And claim the ocean floor | V2 |
| - | |
| Yet we love the human race | W2 |
| We are vested with hearts | A2 |
| Framed under One God | X2 |
| Hearts anchored | M |
| Under the virtue of kindness | J |

| We have unalienable rights | H2 |
| That God gave to man | Y2 |
| At the creation | H |
| That is why | U |
| We have dominion over the | Z2 |
| Birds in the sky | U |
| We have dominion over the | Z2 |
| Fishes in the sea | D2 |
