1. O night whose bliss was cut short by dawn’s break,
Return to me, for you have struck my core.

2. Never have I seen nor heard of a night like you,
In the home of the wise, lacking in wrong.

3. You inflicted on my heart such deep sorrow,
Leaving the forbearing bereft of forbearance.

4. O elegant night, gift to your faithful,
I was wronged but did not avenge the wrong.

5. After forgetfulness took my gatherings and friend,
I remembered your beauty, elegant one.

6. Peace be upon you, O night, greetings equal
To the stars, though fewer than my prayers for you.
