1. Be patient with the vicissitudes of the nights;

    for time is blameworthy in its deeds.

  2. Abbas, do not blame the lover

    for his avoidance and weariness.

  3. And blame the blackness, for it

    has stripped you of the robes of beauty.

  4. So it is like the night of estrangement

    that has assailed the dawn of union.

Sol 6.1
