Ask the breath of benevolence in the dusk of gloom

سل نفحة الخيري في غسق الدجى

1. Ask the breath of benevolence in the dusk of gloom
Why has he worn the garb of darkness?

١. سَلْ نَفْحَةَ الخِيريِّ في غَسَقِ الدُّجى
ما بالُهُ لَبِسَ الظَّلامَ رداءَ

2. Indeed, by your life, he is suspicious
Or else why does he fear the observers?

٢. حَقّاً لَعَمْرُكَ أنَّهُ ذو رِيبَةٍ
أوْ لا ففيمَ يُحاذِرُ الرُّقَباءَ

3. Like a young man who hides his longing until when
The darkness comes, he sighs with relief

٣. كالصَّبِّ يُخفِي شَجْوَهُ حَتَّى إذا
جَنَّ الظَّلامُ تنفَّسَ الصُّعداءَ
