1. Why is your door locked against hope
Behind it, the sweetness of rainwater dissolves

2. When I come to you in reverence and honor
I return carrying kindness that is not accepted

3. So today I ready my soul to cast
Away the illness that plagues me with delusions

4. If I wanted you, I would send a messenger for what
I fear in refusal, and ask leave from inclination

5. Do you not see the rain pouring down on arid soil
Scorched by a land of breadth and length

6. While the winds rage against us, blaming us
So flow for us a stream from that Nile
