1. Do you not see the night calling us to joy,
And the clouds swaggering in their tattered robes?

2. The raindrops scattered from them are like pearls,
As though they were the tears of a weeping lover.

3. It is as if the sky wears kohl around its eyes
With a dark eyeliner embellished with gold.

4. It is an obligation for all who know pleasure
On such a day to don play and amusement.
