1. Each day I pause at your door,
Turning to it from all other doors.

2. When I meet with you, I'm relieved of
The sorrows in my heart, and seek no other place.

3. If I come or stay away from you it's a sin,
Whose punishment is upon the doorkeeper.

4. Exalted One, I was preoccupied with a blessing
You gave me, my thanks and good reward.

5. But I saw you had singled out a group,
Making me one not qualified to join them.

6. When alone I saw thanking you a duty,
When we gathered I was like one uncertain.
