Please stay close

(2734)  Ceye gechi hat petechi

I have gone on wanting, I've implored;
Never did I think of giving.
Only my rights I've informed;
Never did I practice duty.

I have gone on telling: "Myself do give;
Heaven, Earth, the universe, all are filled."
In the dark impervious, inside a labyrinth,
That You call at heart-core I didn't hear.

I have raced out of doors;
What's nearby, I've made far off.
Now evening come, mistake I've fathomed;
In the night, don't stay away from me.
