1. He who was not my lover thought
Ill of my beloved and protected him

2. He placed guards at the door
So we had enough of him

3. But when I yearned for my love’s presence
And our meeting he denied

4. May God make his guards
Protect him from all harm

5. He who has wounded and twisted
My heart in suffering

6. May all who yearn for him
Be ransomed from evil

7. Especially with guards preventing
Our union
