And a night of intimacy, from us desire woke

وليلة أنس باح منا بها الهوى

1. And a night of intimacy, from us desire woke
So it shook, yearning, the heavy shoulders

١. وَلَيْلَةِ أُنْسٍ بَاحَ مِنَّا بهَا الهَوَى
فَهُزَّتْ لِتَرْجِيعِ الثَّقِيلِ المَنَاكبُ

2. With a branch you see the fall of fingers above
As diligently you wove them, o spiders

٢. بِعُودٍ تَرَى وَقْعَ الأَنَامِلِ فَوْقَهُ
كَمَا اجْتَهَدْتَ فِي نَسْجِهِنْ العَنَاكِبُ

3. We amassed the multitudes of melody from it, so they came
Like regiments following their footsteps, regiments

٣. حَشَدْنَا جُمُوعَ اللَّحْنِ مِنْهُ فَأَقْبَلَتْ
كَتَائِبَ تَقْفُوْ إِثْرَهُنَّ كَتَائِبُ

4. And the cups turned with us, until it was as if we
Were tanks and the cups of wine were planets

٤. وَدَارَتْ بِنَا الأَقْدَاحُ حَتَّى كَأَنَّنَا
بُدُورٌ وَكَاسَاتُ المُدَامِ كَوَاكِبُ

5. Shading us with mist, a fire and amber
And sprinkling us with perfume, meteors shooting stars

٥. يُظَلِّلُنَا بِالْغَيْمِ نَدٌّ وَعَنْبَرٌ
وَتنْضَحُنَا بِالطِّيْبِ سُحْتٌ سَوَاكِبُ

6. To the likes of this intimacy mounts one sitting
Astride, to meet it, and sits, riding

٦. إلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا الأُنْسِ يَرْكَبُ جَالِسٌ
جَنيباً لِلُقْيَاهُ وَيَجْلِسُ رَاكِبُ
