```

My Lord,

People say that I am

Extremely beautiful.

Do You agree with them?

No, never!

My Lord,

Why are You so cruel to me?

Because you do not

Give any credit

To the Source.

Who is the Source

And what has the Source

Done for me?

I am the Source

And I tell you once and for all,

The beauty that you have

Is a loan from Me.

At any moment

I can compel you

To return it.

My child,

I can never understand

How a beggar-borrower

Can ever be happy and proud.
