1. O Lord, if You take him to task for his intense longing
And lead the ardent lover into temptation,

2. The soul that severed its breaths for him
Will soften for his plight though he showed no mercy,

3. O Lord, deliver him and bless his return,
Forgive the consequences of his solemn pledge.

4. Though he left me no patience, I'll excuse him,
And treat him justly, even if he was unjust.
