1. O you who can restore our bygone nights
With whatever years you wish, for my sake!

2. When we were alone, we set as our night's rule:
Whoever sleeps is awakened by the wakeful one with a kiss.

3. So I would pretend to sleep when Fahd was awake
So she would intensely kiss me while I was feigning sleep.

4. And if she slept or seemed sleepy,
I would swoop down and kiss her, keeping the rule in my control.

5. So oh, what a sweet night whose entirety
Was preoccupied with kissing without end!
