1. O you who complain of my sin which I have committed,
I ransom you from a complainer who is dear to me.

2. If he doubts anything dubious from me, surely I
Am not dubious about the adversities of fate.

3. And I shepherd from you, though distance is between us,
A love that is rarely shepherded at the setting of a shepherd.

4. So grant me just one sin I may have spoken,
For stumbling is not strange for a resolute man.

5. So O beauty of the state of love, as long as I remain a sinner
I repent, and my transgressions are not counted as sins.
