1. Do people know that in my fast I have
Poured love for a fair one like the moon?

2. A houri looking in the mirror at her beauty -
O this one is not of human kind!

3. Maybe she has been created from me, yet her place
Is closer to my heart than my hearing or sight.

4. Modest in a robe that concealed her splendor
So I said, “Beauty is not concealed by robes.”

5. She spent the night while you were in my breast; she did not
Leave from evening by my rule until dawn.

6. I complain to her of the fire in my heart while she
Complains multiples of it - both of us speaking true.

7. And I make lawful her protection without
Committing a sin against God in rhythm or prose.

8. Until when the caller to prayer awoke I arose and we
Smelt the sweet scent of perfume upon perfume.

9. Neither tomorrow will the rain be her shelter and dwelling
But rather I say tomorrow and the downpour of rain.

10. May Allah not greet whoever brings his visit
Closer to her than me - in it is no burden or danger.
