1. Had I prayed to my Lord with yearning
My sins before God would have been forgiven

2. And had I prayed for the lion of nobility
Its harm confined from all the people

3. So it was generous with sweetness after denying it from me
Thus my burning anguish which was not extinguished boiled over

4. Like one who drinks water to quench his thirst with it
But choked and spilled forth buried in intestines
