1. If we wish, yesterday’s night can return
With virgin imagination and art renewed

2. You are in my world, melodies of eternity
I am in your world, lights of existence

3. Whenever I thought of my longing for you
Whenever I thought of my affection for you

4. I could not find what justifies longing for you
I could not find what justifies affection for you

5. What magic is in you, O this beauty
O fair one, beauty within beauty

6. Your black eye or the eye of a gazelle
Is God's command with lawful sorcery

7. The sweet talk and the smiling lips
And the morning's forehead and rosy cheek

8. And the intimate spirits
Exposed me in my life to passions

9. The white nights, my nights with you
If only my whole life were with you

10. Dearer than the soul, you perfected gentleness
And in the heart’s whispers, secretly I heard you

11. O nights of union in the secret of beauty
And love striking conditions with a condition

12. Do I see love or is this misguidance
I am in love with the ghosts of imagination
