1. You summoned us before the end of last month, so
Our bodies hastened without doubt or hesitation.

2. And we embarked upon the great sea fraught with danger
To kiss the hems of your noble, glorious garments.

3. But an obstacle in the sea reminded us
Of the horror of the dark, wintry days.

4. And we came at the start of this month, utterly
Ashamed of our endless shortcoming.

5. Until the new crescent moon signaled to us
That your good fortune is renewed with each cycle.

6. So we hope for pardon, O you whose essence
Is pardon, the most praised trait of your virtuous character.
