1. Oh, would that I knew if you will spend a night
With the breeze of the two hills to give me relief,
١. ألا لَيْتَ شِعْرِي هَلْ أَبِيتَنَّ لَيْلَةً
يُرَوِّحُنِي بِالْغُوطَتَيْنِ نَسِيمُ
2. And if the cup will unite me with a group
Of youths whose lives are fresh and pleasant!
٢. وَهَلْ يَجْمَعَنَّ الْكَأْسُ شَمْلِي بِفِتْيَةٍ
عَلَى الْعَيْشِ مِنْهُمُ نَضْرَةٌ وَنَعِيمُ
