My dark-skinned beloved, my song
Will she fulfil the dream of my longing?
I desire to kiss your cheeks as
I desire her to sing in my evening
For her words are astonishing,
And I yearn for the songbird of my valleys
My beloved, my sun and my sails
Woe to me if you do not come to my cellars
For the black darkness will veil me
And the light may forsake my gatherings
O sweetest of the sweet, you are here
A dream revealed according to My prayers
What is life if you don't become a radiance
Reviving my channels like rain
