1. Oh, the injustice of the oppressor
Who was once my neighbor

2. He hid his affection from me
And built his home far away

3. He resided in my heart
Yet distanced himself from my path

4. Though I sheltered his beloved
He treated me like a stranger

5. When will I avenge
My raging heart?

6. And extinguish the burning embers
That set my soul aflame

7. So too my heart's bird
In anguish took flight

8. Though the lover is distraught
And his passion rages like fire

9. The beloved is exalted
Though once he was but a neighbor
