وسكران اللواحظ وهو صاحي

وسكران اللواحظ وهو صاحي

لهَا بالراح عن طلب الرواحِ

لهَا بالراح عن طلب الرواحِ

And one with drunken glances, though he was sober,

Intoxicated with passion while fully awake

was distracted by wine from seeking to leave.

Calling to the breeze to seek tranquility

فَمَن مثلي ويمناه وسادي

فَمَن مثلي ويمناه وسادي

معانقةً ويسراه وشاحي

معانقةً ويسراه وشاحي

Who, then, is like me, with his right hand my pillow,

Who is like me, with my right hand as my pillow

as we embraced, and his left hand my sash?

Embracing, my left hand as my wrap

سُتِرت بظُلمتَي ليلٍ وشعرٍ

سُتِرت بظُلمتَي ليلٍ وشعرٍ

وعانقتُ الصباحَ إلى الصباحِ

وعانقتُ الصباحَ إلى الصباحِ

I was concealed by the two darknesses of night and hair,

I was concealed in the darkness of night and hair

and I embraced the dawn until dawn.

And embraced the dawn until dawn

دعا الداعي بحَيَّ على الفلاحِ

دعا الداعي بحَيَّ على الفلاحِ

وحَيَّ على سرورٍ وافتراحِ

وحَيَّ على سرورٍ وافتراحِ

The caller called, 'Come to success,'

The caller called out, “Come to success!”

'and come to joy and gladness.'

“And come to joy and cheer!”
