1. O you who reproached me and sought to abandon me
And keep away from me, though I knew not why

2. You said I was discontent for no reason
How wrong you were! It is not so

3. They claimed that I love another besides you
God forbid! None but you do I love

4. If the one you reproached were given the choice
Of all mankind, he would choose none but you

5. And if he could protect you from death's grasp
He would shield you without loss to himself

6. And if you swore not to speak to me until
The age of Noah in his long life, I would not disobey you

7. So be pleased with me, for I ransom myself to you
By the Almighty, the Majestic - I yearn for your acceptance
