1. With my father as a visitor, wings came to me,
Bearing no affection, so I turned away,

2. Saddened that he came to my abode,
With a miserly heart and hostile towards me.

3. He brought me nothing, and at my resting place,
He came and made me rich and content.

4. He turned away at dawn while my eyes were awake
And walked away while my eyes were sleeping.

5. He was harsh in daylight after he had
Misled me into thinking he had come to me weak.

6. An illusion he did not know about, that visi-
tor to my quarters - so how could he oblige me?

7. He is oblivious to it and I do not blame him,
He had no knowledge of it nor any suspicion.

8. So it is a pretext for grief in a grieving heart
Or a deception sent to my troubled heart.

9. It is like a mirage or like words
That have no meaning or significance.
