I will say astaghfirullah but
Imam, I am innocent
How heinous the crime I have committed but
No stones shall slit my back.
I will say astaghfirullah but
Old man, I am innocent
A child like me is not you yet
We are different but the same.
I will say astaghfirullah but
Darling, I am innocent
I will cut myself with your blade
Before I bleed pagan poetry.

for context:
astaghfirullah = I seek forgiveness from God
Imam = worship leader of a mosque, my grandfafher used to do this
Stoning = punishment for adultery
