1. The night has calmed and stars have darkened
A star falls, and another rises high

2. Whenever a gathering around me grows darker
She comes like the full moon in the garden, red

3. Swaying between the arms of the darkness
Bearing the night, with blush upon her cheeks

4. The color of jasmine has slept in her cheeks
Filling the hall with fragrance and scent

5. And weary candles flicker out
Her steps speak of faith and blasphemy

6. She captivates the heart, and subdues anguish
And whispers to me: good evening, my secret

7. You have not drunk or eaten, so you
Are nothing but narcissistic in nature, openly!

8. I said: Rebuke me more, mock
All my feelings, I ask you no excuse

9. You are the pasture of my hunger, you are she
Who amazed me, today I cannot bear patience

10. She said: Drink! I said: I do not drink wine
Rather I sip, O sweetness of the lips
