1. Nights in which beautiful moments were made perfect for me,
And in them I was blessed with good fortune,
١. لَيالي أَجمَلَت فيهِنَّ جُملٌ
إِلَيَّ وَأَسعَدَت فيها سُعادُ
2. So I spend the night saying to them in rapture:
“Will not your bountiful epoch return?”
٢. فَبِتُّ أَقولُ مِن طَرَبٍ إِلَيها
أَلا يا عَهدُ جادَتكَ العِهادُ
3. You did entrance us, then left us;
Would that you were a voice that could be recalled!
٣. لَقَد أَطرَبَتنا وَمَضَيتَ عَنّا
فَلَيتَكَ كُنتَ صَوتاً يُستَعادُ
