1. I fell for a full moon, harboring no ill will,
Unaware that magic draws people in.

2. When seized, Harut placed his magic
In your eyes, O Moses, and they became afflicted.

3. Since I left my nest, I have not found any caged bird
Who recalls home without a melting heart.

4. He yearned for the nest’s boughs, calling out
To the burrow, though Allah is victorious.

5. With greater longing than my own, perhaps
I’ll see Moses’ specter playfully in a dream.
