1. Why did your specter visit me discreetly
If he had not visited, he would not have been blamed

2. He came while the guard was asleep, unaware
And the night had spread its curtains

3. And the dawn had not yet unfurled its banners
I wished the night would lengthen

4. And the dawn would not break smiling
O specter of intimacy, you have reached me

5. Despite the slanderers' disapproval out of love as a mercy
I remained submissive since we parted

6. And separation mixed tears with blood
So I became enraged and feverish

7. And his mouth made me permissible, though it was forbidden
So I kissed him to stop him

8. From kissing me, smiling playfully
And I looked in the mirror that judges days

9. Something the faults had made public
After today there is only our specters

10. Among the righteous deeds going forward in service
