1. When we concealed from you secretly and openly,
And the doorkeeper met us with a stern face,

2. And meeting became difficult with distance between us,
Fears crept in dreams of thoughts wandering far apart,

3. We sent a delegation with praise and thanks abounding,
To the generous host of hospitality beaming,

4. And found no fault in the veil of barriers truly,
Can one fault the blissful moon for being out of reach?

5. Neither do I blame the vast space dividing us,
For who can aspire to grasp a distant star?
