1. However much I try to rest it
A dark night rebels

2. And my gazelle eyes are sleeping
My eyelids burden it and weigh it down

3. The untouched braids have descended
The virgins of poetry and its jewelry

4. And she sang dancing, singing
O night of life when will its tomorrow come

5. My Master, he whose eyes have strayed
Your love, so your glance can guide him

6. Why does your slave suffer so
You draw him near and push him away

7. It's as if the full moon saw you fasting
And craved your splendor, praising it

8. It desired to taste the honey of your lips
Melting at your mouth, bowing down before it

9. My Master, when you love a young man
The kings of the world envy him

10. You forgot your servant's faith
The Master grew angry at his lord

11. My faith has fallen, so alas if it's lost
Is there anyone left I can worship but you?

12. A young man always longs for you
Sighing hopelessly, used to it

13. When you wish, provide him provisions
The burdens of life provide them for him
