1. They delighted in the gathering place of dear friends
On this night, a night
١. حَبَّذَا فِي مُلْتَقَى الأحْبَابِ
هَذَا اللَّيْلُ لَيْلاَ
2. The full moon brings together Pleiades
In it Suhail shines brightly
٢. يَجْمَعُ البَدْرُ الثرَيَّا
فِيهِ تُجْلَى وَسُهيْلاَ
3. Promising to unite
What was once disunited
٣. وَاعِداً أَنْ يَغْدُوا شَمْلاً
وقَدْ كَانَا نُسَيلاَ
4. The companionship listening is sweetened
With a song never heard before
٤. وتُلَذ القِينَة السَّمْعَ
بِشَدْوٍ مَا أُحيلى
5. And the sea encircles the harbor
With friends and loved ones
٥. وَيَضُمُّ المُنْتَدى البَحْرِ
يُّ صَحْباً وأُهَيْلاَ
6. And the bride of purity is called
Like Layla the bride of poetry
٦. وَعَرُوسُ الطهْرِ تُدْعَى
كَعَرُوسِ الشِّعْرِ لَيْلى
