1. O you who changes my night
Making it short with its length

2. I seek refuge in a face
The full moon in its likeness

3. Yet it is sweeter from you
For the beauty of its mole

4. Alas, have mercy on one fallen
Under the mantle and its shadows

5. One who sees not but the ghosts of
A bed other than its image

6. Frail as an anklet he is
Hidden from his blamer

7. So one who wished you ill
Would be in his state
