1. We raised a glass of wine and a water pipe
For my cigarette, then close the door and go

2. Don't let my mother wake from her slumber
For I will spend the night inside my study

3. It is the night where there is no feeling here
No company but a wandering star in the endless space

4. Like a lover's tortured heart
Suhad, months have passed

5. And my heart walks in the darkness of confusion
Surrounded by thorns on every side

6. As if I hid a thousand scorpions in it
Oh melt your injustice in love if you wish

7. If the fate has struck me with its claws
Then my claws must be strong against fate

8. Suhad, I see disease eating away my body
And death's raven chirping above me, so sing to me

9. Have you not seen how the youth gather
But each has a different aspiration than mine

10. Leave me, leave me and follow another lover
One with a big heart and sweet affection

11. I have always been, since early youth
Do you expect luck from a boy poet?

12. Tomorrow you will lay your chaste neck
On the chest of that infatuated suitor

13. And forget the one whose tears dissolved
In your eyelids, melted away

14. Yes, forget him for he is a sinful infatuated one
More deserving of forgetfulness than any sinner

15. Isn't love a sin, as some have said?
Then I am a sinner, for love is above my shoulders

16. But tomorrow, do not remember the flowers and basil
Or the jasmine of the field after sunset

17. For remembering those symbols is sacred
So do not taint it with fabricated memories
