1. How far from success is my striving
How long will you spurn me in disdain?

2. His advice benefits me not,
Just as my advice benefits him not.

3. Close for us this door of the past,
No use in struggling with locks again.

4. Leave me be, adrift in a night
Where the shores of dawn are far and hidden.

5. In a sea of cares not meant for me,
Neither to drown nor swim was my fate.

6. Since between us bitterness grew,
What use is it now to talk of peace?

7. I see my heart’s loss clearly
Better than any bargain or profit.

8. Don’t unleash your beauty, for I’m a man
Who fears your beauty will make me fall.
