1. How many a night at the door was delightful,
And the couch of the reveler was the bridge,
١. كم ليلة بالباب ممتعةٍ
وأريكة المستمتع الجسرُ
2. And the Nile flowed over its surface,
The lights and the moon were shattered,
٢. والنيل يجرى فوق صفحته
تتكسر الأضواء والبدر
3. As if we and our bride were the world,
And we and the river were the dancer.
٣. وكأننا وعروسنا الدنيا
وكأننا والراقص النهر
