1. O sleep, return to my eyelids after long wakefulness
For the waker of my passion caused me grief and lamented

2. I embraced him while the crescent moon rose on the horizon
So he spent the night confused and worried about my embrace

3. He illuminated a path above his cheek
And Pleiades was amidst it, blowing

4. And beauty had a secret in it, concealed
My glances hinted at it after long searching

5. Do not blame the one who saw the nightingale with his insight
He still awakens my passion whenever he is roused

6. From the tribe of Mudhaj came a person whom I was intimate with
My love for him did not diminish nor break a promise
