1. They said, "Have you pledged blood?"
I said, "I have pledged trust

2. To the one I know
With mercy and compassion."

3. He who tells us that musk
Once sweated its scent,

4. And sees not but that the heights of God
Are reached only by His paths.

5. He who from his water
Grew my rod and leaf,

6. And from His praise of me
Gave from His purse, no theft.
