1. My master accused me of betrayal, yet how can familiarity be accused of estrangement?
So I wore the garb of miserliness in his benevolence, and withheld gratitude from my benefactor.

2. I harbored no grudge except that his aloofness pained me. Who would doubt the full moon?
Can the sun be accused of suspicions that she secretly met a lover in secrecy and cover?

3. So do not accuse me of accusing you unjustly. I reproach you only for abandonment.
You are far above any stray thoughts of mine. Could I ever cast off your clarity from my heart?

4. How could I form an idea to guide me when you have emptied my heart of all thought?
You still fill my heart, my sight, the air, the earth, the horizon and all time.

5. Please accept me, so your acceptance may extinguish what your persona has set alight in my heart.
I have seen no honor like the honor of one reconciled, no humiliation like one excused.

6. If I appear insignificant beside your lofty stature, your lack of pride is your greatest asset to me.
