1. My friend, delight me at dawn's whisper
And congratulate me on what I have attained of pearls

2. O heart, rejoice for you have succeeded
The beloved has come from his journey

3. And the sun has left its trace on his face
A full moon framed by Gemini when small

4. And from his cheek a light too bright to behold
And since his face was touched by the sun

5. I marveled at the sun's trace on a moon
Yet the sun should not overtake a moon
