1. I settled with my grief and forgot morning's radiance
Emaciated, almost killed by yearning

2. When he found no patience in love
And no compassion in his sorrow

3. He faded in his thinness, so that if he appeared
Eyes would not notice the danger in him

4. And here he comes to you like a specter wandering
Fearing suspicions against him

5. So honor his visit and have mercy on his emaciation
For your heart is the inviolable sanctuary
