1. Rise, my love, and put out the lamp,
Passion has allowed us what it allowed.

2. Better to embrace if the darkness is
A cover, without it a barrier.

3. The eye is barred from the pleasure of seeing,
But the spirits are set loose.

4. Rise, my love, and put out the lamp,
The universe sleeps but for those eyes

5. In the heavens, the eyelids keeping vigil.
Do not fear them, they will not betray a secret,

6. And nothing else raises evil suspicions.
I see them more caring and truer than family,

7. And how much betrayal there is among our people!
Do not fear them, look at them with smiling

8. Faces revealing themselves to us radiantly.
Rise, my love, and put out the lamp,

9. How long we stayed awake before, a long night,
Silence complained of our lamentations,

10. And separation sought for months, uncaring
Of what we suffered, melting away and withering.

11. So we met, for the meeting is short -
Seize it, and cast off from you anxiety,

12. And let's bid farewell to those worries
That leap about in the gloom like ghosts.

13. Rise, my love, and put out the lamp,
Have you forgotten the journeys and dangers,

14. My love, and how we came fleeing,
The heedlessness of people is sometimes the lover's grace,

15. Oh, would that it might be bitter!
Woe to you, hear the heart of time, it has struck

16. Thrice, with no calling back the brief moments.
Let the morning startle you when it appears soon,

17. Then do not say, how did it appear?
Rise, my love, and put out the lamp.
