Look at what heights I aspire to in my pursuit of asceticism
For those who want to perceive, look where fate has brought me
When I committed an error, You lovingly concealed it from the world
You showed me clemency, and took possession of my heart
Why should we seek help from anyone?
Why should we tell our woes to anyone?
You are the one we will turn to, and You are the one who will help us
Yours is the threshold we are devoted to
