1. By Him who gave the nights their darkness, and the suns their light,
I have not betrayed the lord of Qana nor his holy sites,

2. Nor asked for peace when war raged hot, nor shunned the battle's might.
Your image has not left my thoughts in times of peace or fight,

3. For you're the seal and signet ring that validates my life,
And your sweet lips, my heart's desire, grant all that I requite.
