1. O monastery of chanting, I love you
A stranger displaced from home

2. For you have reminded me of my homelands
And awakened my innermost thoughts

3. Those I love shun me
And my insides burn

4. After them I find no comfort
Except my tears and remembrance

5. The monastery said, how do you complain
When you have scorched my stones?

6. You made me sorrowful and weep
My eyes overflowing

7. Rise, and complain to Moses
Whom God protected from harm

8. To the king over realms
Of decisive and skilled leadership

9. In the battle of struggle
He has the grip of a fierce lion

10. And in the darkness of fate
The face of the rising moon

11. When he appears people say
Exalted is the Creator
