1. You spurn me and deny me your scripture,
Though in truth I've done no wrong nor avoided you.

2. Is it fair that I profess my love so plainly
While you treat me cruelly with torment?

3. My life for you! How oft you turn from me,
How oft I call you from behind the veil.

4. How far now is your heart that once was near,
Like grey hair on a youthful head.

5. Reconsider your mistreated servant -
Thus you'll reap plentiful reward.

6. And if you're miserly toward him, many a day
You've granted him your pleasure without account.
