1. The right to smile on the day we meet
To bring together nights of separation

2. And connect the ropes of love between us
With congeniality and agreement

3. And the sanctity of our encounter we celebrate
In rounds free of folly

4. We withdraw from our chastity
Into gowns between those cheeks

5. I'm tired of blamers reproaching me
If only they were rid of my noose

6. I yearn for you to find when they find me
That my home is Iraq’s palaces

7. So who informs those accusing me
That yesterday I’m still true to my vow

8. If lovers race ahead
I’ll win the day of race
