1. The dreamer slept without a pillow
He herded the stars as the sleepless do

2. Until the Pleiades withdrew tiredly
And its stars rose like glowing embers

3. The companions slept, love was not their concern
Darkness sufficed those who did not slumber

4. On a gloomy night, its horrors feared
Pitch black from the darkness whole

5. I knocked on the door of the populated house
As friends do when they have an appointment

6. There her maid came so I said uncover
For a love-struck heart, a passionate hunter

7. The two doors opened for a handsome man
Firm in his ascent, no laggard was he

8. She frowned when she saw me enter
Yearning from her threats and reprimands

9. Then she calmed down and softened her demeanor
After ambition, my courting and wooing

10. I said I would stay ten days here
She said no need, just take a seat

11. When the ten nights passed in darkness
She said it's time we go our ways

12. Remember what you desire
By God, we won't disobey you again
