1. I sought you out, riding my camel through the barren desert,
Yet you did not feed me barren bread,

2. Nor did you give water to quench my thirst,
Nor did you kindle a fire to warm my chilled body.

3. But today I blame only myself,
And offer no excuses.

4. Why did I head to the house of a man
Who builds no glory for himself?

5. Oh my feet, you have led me to loss
And given me only disgrace and insignificance.

6. Oh my feet, you have betrayed me
And caused me grave injury beyond repair.

7. For he who is killed by an aggressor -
I see that my own feet have spilled my blood openly.
