1. Her body was veiled in a silk robe
As if it were a lantern for her light

2. She made me see the essence of the eye as light
And darkness, a dramatic act

3. And I imagined making the darkness a veil
O veil, evidence of beauty

4. She did not hide behind loose tresses
That made me wander nights, lost

5. How could she hide when her light is like guidance in
A garment that was uniquely made

6. I am in a world of darkness and my mind
Is in orchards of apples, a shaded place to rest

7. Passion in darkness is nothing but madness
While passion in whiteness is truer in saying

8. None who stray in daylight are like those who stray
In night, for those are guided on their way

9. My excuse for what the maidens have done
Is that they have firmly taken me in love
