1. They saw lightning in the pouring rain, so they were amazed,
The slanderers slept while the sincere stayed awake.

2. From her pillow I hear a tale,
That her saliva is sweet wine.

3. In her intoxicating glances, a proof,
Though we never tasted, as the virtuous claimed.

4. Exalted is God! How my tears flowed
Whenever tents were pitched for my beloved.

5. My longing is stirred when lightning flashes,
And I am transported when doves coo.
