1. O night clothed in light like a flowing robe
In which I dragged the hem of companionship's cold

2. My coat to the gusts of youth readily given
If morning breeze blew or the breeze of youth inclined

3. And pleasure gardens bared their blooms
Adorned with the jewelry of their flowers

4. I sauntered enjoying pleasures freely
And bent with the coolness of play, swaggering

5. O night no blemished eye has seen
Perplexed by the turns of fate, problems amassing

6. Free of any speck, pure its essence
Alone in an era of loss, pure and unsullied

7. Charms shone radiant as our qualities gentled
Situations improve when well matched to states

8. Night lent melancholic songs its resonance
And from the gardens' clarity donned attire

9. Sleep's harbors observed us secured
As time's guard slumbered, forgot his role

10. We slept, comfort covering us
In company whose beauty trailed garments

11. Of sweet natured youths, refined and gentle
We passed cups of affection, pure essences

12. And plucked fruits of joy, hopes gathering
Our wine pourer obeyed our cheer

13. Whirling breezes, their stream an outpouring
His sharp spear saluted night's sentry

14. As it glistened wet with dew, dripping
Her radiance softened, like pure gold and idol

15. Her manners gentled by our courtship's grace
When by our hands her veil was torn away

16. She surrendered her figure minus modesty's veil
With her we enjoyed the gardens of companionship

17. Plucking wishes' fruits, collecting hopes
Until the crescent hid in the east discretely

18. And responded to the west's call to set
Dawn arrived with the army of morning

19. As night's darkness revered its supremacy
As though the night were an Abyssinian, now free

20. Mixing in the redness of dawn, blending qualities
As though the horizon were a cup of still night

21. Where daylight's brilliance melted fluidly
O excellent night of companionship that swelled

22. With passion for it, the days yellowed and withered
