1. O night I stayed up until dawn
In it I met its full moon and its crescent

2. Time allowed it, so it was a night
In it, reproach was gently sweet for the reproached

3. I celebrated it and protected it from the envious
Whose only concern is malicious gossip

4. And my embracing the sweet-natured
The saltiness of everything was gathered in it

5. He sways moderately, for if the morning breeze
Played with his figure, inclining it

6. My youthful excitement assaulted me toward him
And my composure and decency embarrassed him

7. My hand clung to his forearm and his cheek
I kiss this and avoid that

8. If my sighs didn't mingle with his breaths
They would have grown in us to the point of perdition

9. Morning envied night for embracing us
Angrily, so its caller separated us
