1. O stars of the sky, do not witness against me
What I have reaped, O Thuraya

2. Do not reveal before the judge of love
The name of she who brought death to me

3. Do not say that I spent the nights
Sleepless, my heart aching intensely

4. Do not say that she who killed me
Killed an innocent and loyal lover

5. O stars of the sky, if you reveal the secret
Then my Lord will fold up your sky

6. The passing of stars is less significant
Than anything bad happening after me, O Thuraya

7. If your sleeplessness outlives me, o stars of the sky
Then convey the news of my death to her

8. And ask her satisfaction, for I long for her contentment
Dead, as I was when alive
