1. I have sacrificed myself for you, my longing for you has been so long
Yet you are hardhearted and cold

2. It is not your friend who avoids you out of hatred
Nor the one who seeks your affection like a reward

3. If you nurture loyalty, I will not fail it
If not, my leaving will sadden you

4. It takes time to find a friend
That time goes by in harmony

5. Fearing that too much time together
Would make him satisfied with just enough from you

6. If your rejection is out of coyness
While you feel affection and harmony

7. Then make amends before despair
That would hinder making amends

8. Otherwise, let go of my love and pretend
An indirect hint is enough

9. When will the ailing reach full health
If stinginess is the lot of the prosperous
