1. How many a night we spent on the sand
Like a young doe atop the cushions

2. When you smiled and the veil of night lowered
The darkness lit up for us with the lightning of teeth

3. We talk of those whom self-conceit has killed
And those whom misfortunes in love have afflicted

4. Like Majnun and Qays for Layla
And those who revealed to them their inner secrets
