1. I have not spent between the nights that are past
A night like that one in the monastery of a saint

2. I held in my arms a beauty the like of which has not been created
Among the beauties nor the houris of paradise

3. Not the throne of Bilqis in the days of her kingdom
Nor Solomon brought in procession to Bilqis

4. One day with someone greater than us in bed and
The embrace lasting to the ringing of bells
