1. Alas, hasten to the abode of joy and greet it
And say "Where is my pleasure and where is my conversation?"

2. And say "What eye has a house dwelt in
Other than yours? If you don't know that, then know it"

3. And yellow from the dye of estrangement is her hair
When a garland of aligned pearls is intertwined

4. With it I passed the life of darkness and drank it
Dark in bodies, bright in spirit
