1. O night that reunited us after prolonged yearning
Thoughts of you stirred many shades of melancholy in us

2. I remembered what had happened at the wedding feast
Where the most generous of God's creations honored me

3. A white radiant night that portrays the dawn glittering
And the meadow well-watered, and the slopes lush

4. We stayed lighting up the darkness of night with our smiles
And stirring up the passions of night with our melodies

5. She spoke and I spoke, our conversation unending
Till morn, our complaints unsettled

6. And night enveloped us in its coils
Under its wings we delighted in intimacy and merriment

7. None before us have been so affectionate
So fervently in love and tender

8. From the rapture of meeting and its intensity
We see life as a paradise and time as a garden

9. We imagine the universe a nest for two that joins us
The water silvern, the breeze tuneful

10. Life everlasting, hopes pampered
The unknown horizons decked out and glittering

11. We did not embrace as the rapture of the nuptials overwhelmed us
How our souls and hearts embraced

12. Then we withdrew though ardour still burnt fierce
Passion blazing and yearning thirsty

13. O night that awakened memories with your return
On the wheel of time, what sorrows do you stir in me now!?

14. You were once sweet company we savored
And now you are regrets and melancholy

15. You have saddened those whose tears once flowed
And confounded above the ashes of the hearth, lost

16. He spends the night confiding his emotions to the dark
Too confined and secretive for daylight

17. Sending his passion covertly under cover of night
That could melt rock, if rock it was!

18. With tears pouring from the heart's wounds
A heart may weep without the eyes sometimes
