1. On a night when my fortunes were at their peak
At the height of joy and perfection

2. The palace of sweet union shortened its life
As if it were only kohl on the eyelids

3. Dawn drew near extinguishing it
Such is the life of nights of union

4. As my eyes began to sleep
The fortunes awoke after the affliction

5. I visited him at night begging
I would sacrifice myself, my family and wealth for him

6. And complained of the afflictions I was in
And the bad state I was experiencing

7. He showed compassion to his servant
With speech that rivals the rhythm of poems

8. Oh, what a night in which I attained
In its darkness what was not in my imagination

9. The carriages of hope became light
And gifts became heavy

10. I was quenched in its darkness with pure wine
Poured clear and lawful

11. My heart rejoiced with the beloved ones
And my eyes drew near to that beauty

12. I attained what I attained though
I did not deserve that bestowal
