1. To God I complain, as one who lost his loved ones complained to God,
An orphan whom his kin abandoned, so his body is frail,

2. And his parents' covenant is old.
Their home cried for their absence, so it shed tears,

3. Which of the grievers should I blame?
Am I someone tearful, crying of yearning and love,

4. Or did I just happen to cry, complaining of his woe and madness?
The bonds of love for my loved ones confused me,

5. And kinds of mighty love overwhelmed them.
He whose heart clings to love of loved ones,

6. Will either die or live, living woefully.
So even if I gathered patience from you,

7. To keep our pact, I remain steadfast.
And time has separated our group,

8. Between you and them, in it misfortune is ominous.
Is it true that your heart is empty,

9. Healthy, while my heart in love with you is sick?
