When night's darkness thickens and sleep closes
When the darkness of night grows murky,
Men's eyes, and they delight in their beds,
And the eyes of men grow drowsy in slumber,

He makes for the man next door, soliciting his wife—
Yet from a neighbor's house comes the sound of a wedding,
Yazid, creeping along, crouching low in pursuit.
Adding to the torment of those who suffer in solitude.

And if the woman next door yields to him, or gazes
And if the neighbor's wife answers his call,
Toward him, he comes to her thereafter, willingly.
He goes to her afterward, willingly obedient.
