Beginikah derita
Hai orang yang sabar
Dituduh berdusta
Walaupun bercakap benar
Namaku dicemar
Manaku pergi
Orang tak gemar
Imanku tak kan bertukar
Dari menipu
Biar terlantar
.
Mengapakah dunia
Hai penuh tipu daya
Dosa dan maksiat
Itulah yang diutama
Si jujur menjadi mangsa
Pandai menipu lekas berharta
Biarlah aku merana
Aku tak rela hidup berdusta
.
Dimana keadilan
Yang aku harap-harapkan
Mengapa kezaliman
Menjadi balasan
Yang lemah ditekan
Yang berharta jadi sanjungan
Padamu oh Tuhan
Aku serahkan
Tetapkan iman

Is this the suffering
Of a patient man?
Accused of lying
Even when he's not
My name has been smeared
Wherever I go
Nobody likes me
But my faith will not waver
Instead of cheating
It's better to be dead
.
Why is the world
Full of cheats
Sin and adultery
Becomes virtues
The good become prey
If you cheat, you're rich
Let me suffer
I won't live a lie
.
Where's the justice
That I long for
Why is cruelty
The reward
The weak are oppressed
The rich are lauded
To you O God
I surrender all
In faith
