1. O you who turn away from me, I sacrifice myself
And you barely turn away

2. Has your love for me, my master, really vanished so quickly?
You hate me, my master, though I love you, even when hated

3. I remain fasting from your anger
Until satisfaction breaks my fast

4. How strange is one who blames a lover
If he loved or hated

5. He sees his path before me
As his path in times gone by

6. Or it was a separation he didn't know about
And so it came to an end

7. I stay up while he sleeps
When I stay up while he slumbers
