1. In the evening I bid him good morning, so he said to me,
"What is this talk, do you think this a jest?"

2. So I was more perplexed on top of my first perplexity,
And I knew that I had come with a mistake.

3. Do well, Abu Hasan, for your goodness distracted me,
Until I imagined the evening as morning.

4. Do not wonder, for if your face appeared
In darkness, I would reckon it a lamp.

5. You are the one who confused me with charm
That made the morning of the worlds ugly.

6. How much you have tempted without seeking temptation!
How much you have killed without bearing arms!
