1. Tell Suad to slip away shyly
And direct me to my escape

2. Do not be harsh towards me
If you intend to end this

3. An apparition of you visits me
And sees every path I take

4. So I complain bitterly to God
Oh, from this miserable madness

5. A visitor deceived me with you
With intricate, twisted tales

6. So return me then fulfill
I am apprehensive and hopeful

7. It's as if my soul was stolen by
The sorcery of the agitator

8. And when will you remember the companionship
I rely on and inspire me to compose

9. You are my thoughts in my sitting place
My resting place and my path

10. So recall the night of Thursday
My stammering tongue

11. And my standing behind the wind
On a heavily cloaked night

12. And my coming to you from
A tumultuous, billowing sea of night

13. I await the full moon so I can see
The face of a crowned full moon

14. So we met at the trysting place
Calling out and conferring together

15. And the son of Salman has fallen
Like a laden donkey

16. He cannot see me though I see
His face openly, not obscured
