1. Do you not remember the moonlight's glow
Showing me the pearls on your lips

2. And a flower whose breath revives you
With dew upon it like my scattered tears

3. And a gentle breeze from the morning
And water like my flowing, murmuring hair

4. And complaints we sweeten with tears
And whispers that show us the finest images

5. And between our hearts a dialogue
Smooth as the melody of a string

6. And from your glances the rays shine
And from my glances the sparks fly

7. So you said, restrain yourself, my beauty
Is protected from harm by angels

8. You were but the worship of a face
That averts lips and tempts eyes

9. And a hand held in hand loosely
Seized by he who shows patience

10. Blessed was the time of love now gone
And blessed he who recalls it well

11. Blessed was the night chat that poured out
The soul's passions and lit the sight

12. Blessed is blasphemy if my heart
In worshipping your beauty blasphemed

13. And blessed is standing in the dark's wing
Until dawn's light begins to spread

14. There we feared the watcher
Taking the rustling trees for whispers

15. May God grant what made the lovers anxious
And sent them riding into danger

16. For passion's sake they loved destruction
Can the wary lover gain anything?

17. If there was a night with no morning
They would live and all life be night chat
