1. I spent the night comfortably with a heart devoid of worries,
Sorrows, griefs and passions are far from me.

2. O you who sleep there in the ruins,
My eyes are set apart from slumber.

3. How separation has wandered aimlessly, so many times!
O object of my hopes, do not neglect me!

4. How often I said, fearing the promptings of passion:
"Beware of avoidance!" But you did not accept.

5. Remember when you used to join me,
While we were in the east of Arbil.

6. The cup tells of it, by the morning breeze,
Ashamed to spread the musk and mandil.

7. Whenever you would give me a kiss,
The face of time coming would shine.

8. And you being near me, by my side,
Is better than a beautiful woman adorned with trinkets.
