Extasiait la terre et charmait toutes choses ;
Les rossignols pleuraient dans le harem des roses,
Et nos cœurs dans la nuit se fondaient en aimant.

J'ai fait de mon amour un monde hors du monde,
J’ai fait de mon amour un jardin enchanté,
Où dormira mon cœur en une paix profonde,
Où règnera la lune  d’or de ta beauté.
