O night in which I remained ceaselessly awake,
O night in which sleeplessness prevails
Watching the stars, companion to sorrow and thought.
I tend the stars, companion of worries and thoughts

As if when the night spread its darkness
Were embers the east wind laid bare in a green hearth.
Embers stirred by the breeze in a green fireplace

Ah, woe to my heart for a gazelle with whom I am afflicted,
Oh my heart, what misery I have suffered
Veiled in dawn, turbaned in night.
Awakening at dawn, blanketed in night
