Schilt mich nicht, mein strenger Meister, Daß im Diwan ich geträumet Und bei des Muezzins Rufen, Ach, nach Osten stand gewendet. Wisse, als ich kam vom Bade, Als ich heimging von den Gärten, Schlüpfte Zillah mir vorüber, Und den Schleier hob sie schalkhaft.

Do not chide me, my stern master, That I dreamed away the time in the divan And when the cry of the muezzin rang out, Stood turned toward the east. Know that when I returned from my bath, When I went homeward from the gardens, Zillah slipped past me And roguishly lifted her veil.
