Alas for the night that deprived me of its goodness

واها لليل خلتني من طيبه

1. Alas for the night that deprived me of its goodness
As I took shelter in the shadow of a flying bird

١. واهاً لِلَيلٍ خِلتُنِي من طِيبهِ
متَفيِّئاً في ظلِّ طَيرٍ طَائرِ

2. If only I could buy back my life for the likes of it
Or with youthfulness, I would not be at a loss

٢. لو أنّنِي أشْرِي بعُمريَ مِثلَه
أو بالشّبِيبة لم أكُنْ بالخَاسِرِ

3. In it I obtained the full moon, a sun crowned
At dusk with every bright star

٣. ناهلْتُ فيهِ البدرَ شمساً تُوِّجَت
عند المِزَاجِ بكل نَجمٍ زاهرِ

4. And I kissed lips, if they had shone in the darkness
They would make the confused one needless of the raining clouds

٤. ولثمتُ ثَغراً لو تألَّق في دُجىً
أغنى المَحولَ عن الغَمامِ الماطرِ
