1. O night of passion, tomorrow has come
As it leaned towards my heart, its tryst

2. If our union's time has come
Will the fates that distance it prevail?!

3. My ardent love is anguished and restless
My words are confused as they seek it

4. O night, your promise is suspended
Will you renew it tomorrow?!

5. Separation from us is a creditor... voracious
And in us is insomnia... how patient is it!

6. And time has passed, how much it terrified us
While I am in bewilderment, reciting it

7. The travellers left their dwellings
While I am inhabited by its burial

8. Take from me a lifetime, O my night
For it is that lifetime, and I am its tomorrow

9. So my passion tonight, I will scatter it
And in his palms I will dissipate it

10. If you know, O morning yearning
You would have fled to seek it

11. That singing nightingale on my boughs
I am still lurking to catch it

12. And a love that surrendered me to my wailing
How much it wears me down, how much I wear it down!
