1. My example when I sought your aid
Was in ignorance, and no wise man checked me,

2. Like a blind man who in his blindness wanders astray
For an age, then returns cropped of ear,

3. You made my lot the hard road as a constant companion,
Like a shadow that follows me everywhere,

4. I did not live heedless of remembrance of God, would that I
Knew why I was joined with Satan!
