1. And foremost among the people you seek in intimacy
Its traces, and at the abode its neighbor

2. And he has worn a cloak protecting from the passions
Lest it defile the darkness of his secrets

3. In the night the house of poetry is his abode therein
From every side you see its lights

4. To guide those walking in the gloom of night
And to honor the guest, he kindles his fire

5. And for the benefit of its owner you see it bare
Folding its ribs over the length of its day
