1. O night that I shall never forget your goodness ever
As if all joy is present in you
١. يالَيلَةً لَستُ أَنسى طيبَها أَبَداً
كَأَنَّ كُلَّ سُرورٍ حاضِرٌ فيها
2. I spent the night, while the jug, our third companion, spent it with us
Until morning, pouring me drink and I pouring it drink
٢. باتَت وَبِتُّ وَباتَ الزِقُّ ثالِثَنا
حَتّى الصَباحِ تُسَقّيني وَأَسقيها
3. As if clusters of black grapes in their ripeness
Gave their wine unstintingly only to our mouths
٣. كَأَنَّ سودَ عَناقيدٍ بِلِمَّتِها
أَهدَت سُلافَتَها صِرفاً إِلى فيها
