1. The pleasure of meeting you has arrived unannounced
With beauty like perfumed leather

2. And it came to you with love as a companion
Without any separation or embarrassment

3. It came to you under the wings of darkness shyly
Lest its shadow accompanies and walks beside

4. The horizon adorned itself with a necklace of stars
And the darkness dressed in delicate, thin coldness

5. On a night illuminated by the lights of union
Dawn envied the dominating darkness

6. Its tent folded until
Its pegs rested on the sands

7. I spread out its furnishings and were it not for its exposure
It would not have been a secret to the breezes

8. Until the beautiful meeting calmed
My breath and dreadful shock

9. I leaned my cheek on its pillow and it leaned
Its cheek on mine and we were in the sweetest life

10. Were it not for the fluttering of my wings I would have spread them
As its bedding and concealed my mattress from it

11. And it reproached me in the morning, a reproach adorned
With charm without estrangement or shame

12. And I sipped from its cool mouth water
To quench the thirst of my craving

13. Dawn arose shaking its tail in sorrow
And violently sobbing

14. I bade it farewell while tears streamed from my eyes and from
Its eyes mixing into a pouring rain

15. No morning shone from a night
When the beloved came and the jealous one departed
