I composed love poetry until it was said that I was a lover.
I was accused of being lovesick
And I sang of love until I was called bereft of homelands.
And chided for longing for my homeland

There is neither love nor loss in me; rather,
Yet I have no lovesickness or yearning
You brought forth branches of exquisite poetry.
I merely excel in composing poetry
