1. We have seen in your covenants
Covenants we have never witnessed

2. Fragments of conversations
Whose meanings have become clear to us

3. I implore you by God, fold away
Suspicions we have folded away

4. Neither you spoke nor we spoke
Suffice it to mention discord

5. And we give you rest, leg
Toward you was its effort

6. And we avert our eyes below you
A mirror the self dislikes its sight

7. And an ear that was thrilled
By your words we have stifled it

8. And news we have heard
For your sake we have abandoned it

9. And deeds we have seen
As if we never saw them

10. So speak not and complain not
For the self suffices its complaints

11. It has seen and distance its valley
And its farthest, so its farthest

12. For the sake of a love that was flawed
To preserve it and tend to it
