1. Do you not see the lights in the darkness of night
Whose origin is in the beholders a companion

2. Smoke of lofty qualities, its sparks
Lightning and the knot of profit in it tight

3. And night like the day of union, as for its meadows
Flowers and as for its musk youthful

4. And Baghdad a sea its coast gems
And the Tigris a garden its branches twin

5. And its pebbles have become ruby and its soil amber
And the water has become while it is pure wine
