SACRIFICE by AL-TUTILI

First Line: ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE I MADE
Last Line: AND HOW I NEVER WAS CONTENT?
Accept the sacrifice I made
(If offerings your conscience wake)
Recalling how I disobeyed
The voice of censure for your sake.

Do you remember the long nights
That you and I together spent,
And how you grudged me no delights,
And how I never was content?
