1. The queen of the bed
Passed by the bat

2. Flying in swarms
Seeking candles

3. She turned and leaned
And laughed, saying:

4. Have you fallen in love
O lover of darkness?

5. Describe to me the black friend
The intimate naked one

6. He said, you asked about
The most truthful describer of him

7. He is the loyal friend
Perfect in description

8. His company is safety
And his secret is concealment

9. His glance is gentle
When the companion departs

10. He cares for lovers
And listens to the longing one

11. In summary
He is the precious beloved

12. The fool said
And her words were ridicule:

13. Where is the eunuch of musk
Of exaggerated price

14. From my companion the prince
The apparent luminous one

15. If he is counted among those I know
I name him and pride myself of him

16. And if I am asked about him
And my position from him

17. I boast to my peers
And am infatuated with admiration

18. He said, O queen
And mistress of the couch

19. Verily, arrogance is to
Blame the arrogant

20. So turn your back to me
And go to perdition

21. She left him laughing
And went with her boasting

22. And after an hour passed
Of time, it expired

23. The queen of the bed passed
By the bat

24. Missing limbs
Complaining of death

25. He came to her worried
Laughing at her crying

26. He said, did I not tell you
You perish or you don't perish

27. How many white-faced friends
Who would sacrifice themselves like chiefs

28. With soul and valuables
And companions like light

29. In beauty and appearance
With clenched heart

30. Wasting affection
His closeness is traps

31. And his nearness is ruin
