I have left men utterly, out of love for You
And orphaned my children, that I might behold You
Though You dismembered me for love’s sake limb by limb
Yet would my heart yearn for none besides you
Overlook the faults of a weakling who is come to you
Come to you in the hope of even calling upon you
If he has disobeyed you. O Vigilant Master.
Yet he has never bowed down to another besides You
O Lord, Your ill obeying slave has come to You
Admitting his sins, though he has prayed to You
Should You forgive, it well befits You
And if You reject, who should show mercy besides You?
