1. I came to heal at the door of passion
Yet I had no appointment there

2. And when I grew weary, I sat as if
A beggar at its door seeking alms

3. And the smile of dawn was about to appear
Exposing my affair to the transgressor

4. So I got up to leave but then a voice
Came to me like a breeze's whisper

5. I recognized you, oh voice of Thurayya
Saying "Do not go far from your place"

6. And she softened to open the door of her zeal
And said "You have the right, do not climb"

7. The veil of darkness had fallen upon us
And slumber came from the beds

8. So leave and bear this day with patience
And at nightfall of shadows, return
