1. My nights with Muna were lost in passionate love
If only her tribe knew how I pine for her

2. Or knew that I would not speak of it
Until my heart opened up and yearned

3. It flutters anxiously, fearing betrayal
The heart does not lie when it throbs with love

4. How beautiful is the dream when magic yielded to me
With birds chirping over the lovers in the garden

5. The vines set up a nest around us
Of branches and leaves sheltering us overhead

6. Through them the bright moon sends its rays
Depicting love in our clothes with embroidery

7. To guard the nest from anyone who might surprise us
Be it a human or a star should they knock

8. The shadows of the leaves fluttered
As they were brought to the nest, white and pure

9. As if the vines intentionally obscured
The view of a lurker should he come and watch

10. The shade was like ink with which was written
On our clothes by the garden branches, though wordless

11. A pact between us and our passionate love
That will remain with us until we breathe our last

12. The morning breeze gently tempered
The heat in our hearts, lest the closeness scorched us

13. A dream, and how wonderful those days were that realized it
Truly when fortune and the beloved coincide

14. But doubt in man is cautious
Youth plays with the wings of night and took off

15. If only her family knew of our innocence
They would not have schemed to separate me from her at dusk

16. I stayed up witnessing in the dream of love
Dawn appeared on my brow, so morning was unveiled

17. She disappeared yet her rising remains in my mind
Leaving me after bidding farewell at sunset

18. So may God reward lovers who came before
For the passion they committed that preceded

19. For I have never seen a single sincere one
Yet I have seen many profess love and differ

20. Except a few we read of in books
Oh how wonderful if sincerity in love were verified
