1. The dawn has torn the veils of darkness
And its garments of gloom have vanished.

2. So stop your vain regret, you who went astray,
When affliction came your way.

3. She was wed to the noblest of suitors
With a wreath of roses and jasmine.

4. The houri hastens to her with a cheek
Of laughter, though sure of what’s to come.

5. Men are but an impetuous fool
Or one whose religion curbs him.
