A car went astray after

وسيارة ضلت عن القصد بعدما

1. A car went astray after
A dark night overwhelmed them.

١. وَسَيّارَةٍ ضَلَّت عَنِ القَصدِ بَعدَما
تَرادَفَهُم أُفقٌ مِنَ اللَيلِ مُظلِمُ

2. They listened to a sound while we were a gang,
With a lad singing drunkenly among us.

٢. فَأَصغَوا إِلى صَوتٍ وَنَحنُ عِصابَةٌ
وَفينا فَتىً مِن سُكرِهِ يَتَرَنَّمُ

3. They saw from afar a coffeehouse of ours
As if its light were a flaming fire.

٣. فَلاحَت لَهُم مِنّا عَلى النَأيِ قَهوَةٌ
كَأَنَّ سَناها ضَوءُ نارٍ تُضَرَّمُ

4. When they felt us near, they stopped in their place,
And if we got mixed up, they spurred on their ride and went forth.

٤. إِذا ما حَسَوناها أَقاموا مَكانَهُم
وَإِن مُزِجَت حَثّوا الرِكابَ وَيَمَّموا
