1. O you who predicted the night visit, make it happen
If true, it will be sweet as you claimed

2. Why do you shun me and blame me
My people, wait, why this divide?

3. They said, “We save our livelihood from your youthfulness
If you only knew, that is deprivation"

4. O you wearing the glory of the Master, my usefulness
To you is obedience and defiance

5. And O one fulfilling a religion that does not burden him
Will your uncompromising freedom from me ever end?

6. Is your waist, where chains belong, its destination?
No thirsty soul ever wins a drink from it

7. If you knew the darkness of my heart, its terrain
Some of it would appear as moles upon your cheeks
