A childless mother 

The mother who appeared

everywhere

To pray for a single baby

At the shrine of the saints,

She cried a lot

She massaged the holy soil on her body

How she was deprived of the shadow of a child

She spread her hands

To the God

"Oh! Lord; you are the king of the kings

Have mercy upon me

Do not let me die childless

Make my life one with company

A child which could be my follower

To be an example for the upcoming generation

To be a name for his nation

Oh! God, you are the creator of the universe

Be kind for bestowing a child"

Mother's tears were dropping from her eyes

She screamed a lot

She pleaded to the Saint

"Oh! Man I came to your court

Have mercy for a wanderer

Do not let her life

To be far away from an infant

Your lap is full of mercifulness

You are too kind

Oh, Saint,

Listen to a childless mother's request

And look how unlucky she is

For a newborn baby

To be a partner of her life

Oh man have mercy or die as soon as possible

Because you are a pitiless creature"

She yelled at him

"You are nothing

Just a burden on the world

You don't have any pity

For a mother

Who has been wandering beside your shrine

for desiring company
