1. Say to him who owns my bondage:

    My lord, the time for my freedom has come.

  2. You are my master—but unjustly;

    Do not repay me thus for my love.

  3. Yet I am passionately enamored of you;

    God bears witness that I speak true.

  4. O you who say, “Be patient,”

    My patience—and my bondage—have lasted too long.

  5. May God make my sovereign

    my portion in the Gardens of Eternity.

Sol 5.6
