1. My Lord, one day he came whispering
Of a matter in which his demon spoke
١. ربَّ يومٍ جاء يوحي بأمرٍ
فيه شيطانه إلى شيطاني
2. To my own demon, between the bedsheets and my soul
His eyes perfected the magic's knowledge
٢. من سرارٍ بين اللَّحاظ وروحي
أتقنت علم سحره العينانِ
3. And poured forth from passion, in a discourse
Unlike what the two angels comprehend
٣. وأفاضا من الهوى في حديثٍ
ليس من جنس ما يعي الملكانِ
4. Then he pulled me close and drew me near
Not even Zannar's fires equal that embrace
٤. ثم زنداي وشَّحاه وشاحاً
ما لزنَّاره بذاك يدانِ
5. We indulged in an embrace of oneness
Like a body inhabited by two spirits
٥. فاغتدينا من العناق اتِّحاداً
مثل جسمٍ قد حلَّه روحانِ
