Translation

```

Yesterday what was the supreme reward,

Today that very thing is an object of contempt.

Whom have I to accept and whom have I to reject?

Whom shall I accept as my own?

Alas, I have forgotten my near and dear ones.

I have saluted and embraced my adversaries,

Thinking that whoever comes

Is Your emissary carrying Your Light. ```
