1. The darkness of feeling descended
Upon faces like full moons

2. They traveled, so the morning shone
They shook the poles of spears

3. They laughed with smiling mouths
As if what was in their breasts

4. Had chosen them as gates
Ask my two enchanted eyes

5. About magic and the magician
And about a wandering gaze

6. That feathers the arrows of weariness
And shoots the secrets of breasts

7. I almost fell for her
And my heart surrendered to her

8. But, by passion, she
Is a shy gazelle, shying away

9. Dens are jealous of her
I am deprived of the sweetness of seeing her

10. I stayed up while people slept
I wonder, do you see

11. My night hours like months?
Or does the night revolve around me?

12. I attained a gloomy love
So misery, bitterness, and injustice

13. And your patient lover exceeded the limit
